LiL Wayne concert

The stay was excellent overall. I chose this hotel due to its purported 5-minute walk to the Lil Wayne concert venue, but it actually took 25 minutes. Consequently, we drove and paid $20 for parking. Despite the 20 dollars, the concert itself was outstanding. Would stay here again. Parking is Ok

Not bad for the price and

We spent 6 nights as we visited family in town. Price for the hotel stay was fair. The hotel condition is good overall, and the staff and service was fine. If you have a car be prepared to pay for parking, hotel doesn’t have free parking only 15 minutes parking for checking in.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Pros: The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast area was clean, spacious and a better complimentary breakfast than most other hotels offer. Cons: There was an unpleasant odor in some areas of the hotel. It was mild in our room, but still noticeable. The price seemed better than most, but when you add in the additional $15/day parking (optional), it is closer to what other hotels charge. The parking garage spaces were a little tight. The area is downtown, which made getting off and on the highways easy, but the area itself was dirty, loud, and felt a little unsafe outside the hotel at night. Also heard music blasting from the street a few times during the night, which awoke us from our sleep.

Check in went great! The desk staff that checked us in was so kind and funny. The night staff and the security were horrible. Rude. We came back from a concert and were whispering in the lobby while waiting for food and the security guard was nothing short of a jerk. I would never stay there again just for that fact alone. The room we stayed in had something wrong with the plumbing and the toilet would barely flush and the sink drained so slow if at all, but after the way we were treated when we got back we weren’t about to call and say anything. 10/10 would NOT recommend.
