Overall a good hotel
Very "Designing Women meets Texas" haha. The rooms are a little feminine maybe - but I guess thats part of being grand and southern. It's a nice hotel, they have the finest in amenities, etc. Convenient location - staff was very warm and welcoming - overall a good experience. By: Jared on February 11, 2008
