I'm giving this property 5 stars because overall it was very nice, but it was not necessarily perfect. Maybe 4.5 stars...
The good: Very friendly staff at check in and everyone worked to make my stay enjoyable. Front desk offered restaurant advice and offered free shuttle service to the surrounding area. The room itself was very clean and well appointed and comfortable. The air was quiet and kept a nice temperature.
The ok (again, nothing here is that bad, but worth pointing out): The breakfast was just ok. If you're an eggs and bacon breakfast person, you will be a little disappointed. I expect scrambled eggs out of a container at a hotel, but they were a little dry. The bacon was actually pretty bad as it was very thin and greasy. The rest of the breakfast though was pretty good with make-your-own waffles, french toast sticks, pastries and muffins, hot oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and cold cereal.
A couple more little things that kept it from being perfect: The shower had no place to set body wash or shampoo. It was a walk in shower so no tub edge to set anything on and they only had a small bar soap holder which because of it's design wouldn't work for a bottle of shampoo or body wash. Also, the morning of check out, I needed to take two trips to the car and took the back door near the parking lot. Even though it was hours before check out, the key reader outside did not work and I had to walk around to the other side.
Finally, the area itself is not too entertaining. You are across the street from the baseball stadium and a short walk away from the Century Link arena, but really very little else is in the area. I had to walk a few blocks to get to one of the very few restaurants in the area.
Overall, I want to emphasize that my visit was still very good. I know I've pointed out more of the flaws than the good things, but when things are good, there's not much to write about (clean, comfortable, friendly). I would definitely stay again and would recommend staying at this property.
