Since we stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago, it has gone through a name change and a complete remodel into a boutique hotel similar to many hotels I've stayed in on the west coast. What a pleasant surprise it was and our stay was definitely a 5 star experience!!! We opted to stay in a King Suite... More

Longaberger sold its property to an Indianapolis firm, which out $4.5 million in excellent upgrades and remodeling costs into the property. The Hotel has a modern feel. The staff is very friendly and informative. Our room was spotless. The only downsides were the small elevators which needed upgrading and the fact the sink area is not separate from the shower/toilet... More

The hotel has had so many names and remodels that it's hard to keep track of them all. This location was never very comfortable, BUT the newest owners have completely remodeled the building, giving it a trendy boutique look, updating every room and all the public areas. Very nice indeed. Seems they've actually added more space to each room. Quite... More

To be honest, I did not expect this hotel to be as amazing as it was. I stayed for a period of 2 days. The first day that I arrived, the staff were super friendly and helped me check in late at night. The rooms were super clean and modern!

We had stopped coming when this was the Longberger hotel. We heard that it was remodeled and what a difference! Very clean, updated rooms and great customer service. There is a very nice bar/restaurant with outdoor seating. Would definitely recommend for price, location, and value. Didn't try ( or wasn't told about) continental breakfast so can't comment on that.
