We stayed in the spring suite at this wonderful hotel. The staff is always amazing! The spring suite has a beautiful screened in porch on the upper floors. The hotel is so nestled into the trees and is right off the main drag of SOuth Congress Ave. Lots of shops,restaurants, music.

The location is nice if you want to be in the middle of South Congress and the noise. If you are on the first floor you can hear loud walking and talking upstairs and all around you. Not good for a couples getaway. More of a business trip or party atmosphere

This was not our first visit to this hotel. It is good for a 1 or 2 night stay, but not for the 5 nights we stayed. The rooms are generally smaller and not well it. Moreover, there is little room to store clothes for a longer stay. Finally, one area of the hotel was dark (there are outdoor, entry units) and we had to fight the dark areas and very dark steps required to get to our room. We complained 3 consecutive days but all were were told is it is a “programming issue” that is being worked on.
Example of very dark walkway to our room.
