This is at least my fifth or sixth time staying here. The reception staff are always polite and friendly. The rooms are consistently clean. My car is the appropriate size for their garage. It is very convenient and I appreciate the in/out privileges. The area is up and coming. Very close to the center ...

The Windsor Suites
I would definitely have given it five stars only the morning we were there, loud construction, drilling, banging near our room. We had to work downstairs in common area. We were notified of it at check in, but still affected our experience. Otherwise, everything about the hotel was awesome!
