"An emergency stay during Hurricane Helene power outage. Amazingly helpful and supportive staff and manager. They were pulling out all the stops to accommodate storm refugees and turn over rooms as fast as possible. It was nice to be able to walk to Riverbanks Zoo, and a Waffle House and 7-11 store right across the street made it easy and cheap to get outside as soon as weather permitted."

"This was a great experience from the moment we arrived. The woman who checked us in was so welcoming and kind. She offered us their welcome snacks and a drink and check us in quickly. The room and the hotel is my favorite style – modern industrial. Super cool! The neighborhood outside was OK. I definitely stay here again!"

"Such a beautiful place in the capital city. Our room was perfectly comfortable and a very cloud like bed. The bed is also in the clouds but there’s a convenient step stool in the closet to help launch you into dreamland. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for sharing this homey place. ScottyMoe "
