The hotel was always clean, even with so many of us being there for our Mary Kay Seminar. The public restroom was clean too. The bar area was intimate and always clean. I really enjoyed talking to Nate and I forget his colleague's name. She was pleasant as well. If you find yourself here, ask Nate to make you his signature drink that tastes like a green apple jolly rancher!!!!
Bedroom:
The room was spacious. You entered the living room/dining room when you walked through the door. There was a decent sized wet bar that served as the "kitchen". As you walk down the hall towards the bedroom, you'll pass a hall closet and the bathroom. The bathroom was a decent size, but two people couldn't be in there at the same time. There's only one sink and the toilet isn't in it's own space. I really liked the shower; it's big enough for two people.
As you enter the bedroom, it is spacious, but there's not enough lighting for me. The closet was large enough to hold my luggage; I had a carry-on, a large suitcase, and an duffle bag, and the few items I did hang.
Breakfast:
Meh! I've had better. This wasn't what I'm used to from an Embassy Suites. I ate breakfast elsewhere.
Arrival/Departure:
Both check-in and check-out were a breeze. I extended my check-out time because I had a late flight out. I had to make the request twice, but that was explained to me beforehand by the receptionist when I called to inquire about it. He was only able to give me until noon; anything later required me to wait and then inquire at the front desk.
I'd like to add that when my Uber arrived to take me to the airport, Steven assisted with putting my bags in the car. I truly hated that I didn't have cash (I don't carry it) because I wanted to tip him for his kindness. The Uber drivers are the ones who put our luggage in the trunk. I really appreciated Steven for helping!
Location:
The hotel is within walking distance of the Convention Center and I believe that was the Nascar Hall of Fame that's across the street. You're also in walking distance to other attractions and restaurants in the city. I walked 15 minutes to some art museums and some restaurants.
At night, there is one street that seems a bit sketchy, but I felt safe during my time in the Queen City. I walked the streets at night by myself coming from different restaurants.
Value:
It was a bit pricey, but the price hike was due to our Seminar being held there. It's not worth $300+ per night, but I'd book here again when prices are typical.
Recognition:
Again, I'd like to shout out Steven who works valet and Nate who is a bartender.Show More
