We stayed at the AC for a concert at heritage bank. The room was clean and the hotel was nice. Great walking distance from a bunch of restaurants, bars, and heritage bank even though it was February. My only complaint was lack of trash bins. There was only one trash bin in the bathroom and no trash bins in the halls or near the elevators. I hated feeling like we left a mess for the hotel staff but we tried our best to tidy up.

We spent three nights here and had a great experience overall. The hotel itself is very nice, and the location is an absolute A+. Everything we wanted to do was within easy reach. The front desk and bar staff were amazing, friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. The valet team also did a great job, especially with their QR code retrieval system, which made getting the car quick and seamless. My only real complaint would be that the HVAC system in the room was quite loud. That said, it worked very well and kept the room temperature comfortable, so it was more of a noise issue than a functionality one. One potential drawback for some guests is that music from nearby bars can be fairly loud, especially late on weekend nights. It didn’t bother us, but I could see how it might be a distraction for light sleepers. Overall, a very enjoyable stay, and I would definitely consider staying here again.

We have a river view room and definitely worth the extra money. And there are good dining options nearby. We brought our 21lb dog and was given a little welcome gift with collapsible water bowl and treats at check in. I brought fresh food for my dog and needed to keep the food cold but our original smart fridge did not work properly so they replaced our mini fridge with a different one and worked out realty well. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Booked a King 1-Bed room and they checked me in not commenting to me any change but when I got to my room on the 4th floor, it was a 2-Bed room. Went into the bathroom and saw a huge blood spot under the sink on the floor. Highly DO NOT recommend this hotel
