"Most Exquisite Stay!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Eventy and her nighttime staff went beyond the call of duty to make our stay the best that the hotel could offer. She and her staff took care of our problems with late night check in and needs and professionally made sure that we had the most exquisite stay. Make sure to give the night staff a raise immediately.

"Outrageously Priced"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Front desk supervisor was very helpful and friendly, but even for a Courtyard it was very average in decor and amenities. Outrageously priced I was told due to Comecon weekend.
