Check in and check out was quick and easy. The hotel was very cute and so clean. Our beds were comfortable. We were there for a show at the Altria Theatre and it was an easy walk. There are many restaurants in the area also.

A suite
As I mentioned earlier, when I entered the room, it had some kind of strong scent. I had to run the fan from the heater/AC for several hours to dissipate it.
I really got a good night sleep because the bed was wonderful and I like the extra long pillows they had.
The bathroom was kind of strange because it had a low ceiling and there was not a lot of room. But the shower was very invigorating.
