Hotel for a concert
Hotel is very nice we were in town for a Billy Strings concert at the Schaffer Center. Turned out they were staying at the same hotel. Two black tour buses were parked outside when we left. Great hotel and concert.

24/7 free coffee, 11/10 beds, in room peleton
The girls at the desk were very sweet and welcoming. The beds were perfectly firm and slept like a dream. There was a peleton in the room (I didn't try it out but I felt fancy) Sparkling clean everywhere and they don't come in your room unless you put a sign on the door requesting cleaning, AMAZING! I didn't take advantage of breakfast. The location is great. We will absolutely be back.
