Business stay
We had a great stay overall. Only issues we ran into were that when we came to check out around check out time the front desk staff was nowhere to be found for almost 30 minutes. The hotel is dated but clean. Bed was comfy and parking is easy to find.

Everything was very good. We had adjoining rooms. Close to the zoo and Orphium Theater and close to nice restaurants. One night stay with family. Kids liked to the pool and hot tub was nice, great breakfast. Will stay again.
