Okay, so it is not the Ritz Carlton, but a great value for the price. I appreciated that pets were allowed, even though I did not bring my Yorkie this trip.
All the employees were pleasant and greeted each guest.
The parking lot was very secure. Entry and exit required a pass from the hotel, and the parking lot had cameras.
The room and bath area were small but very clean and modern - the room even had a flat panel tv. The bed was comfortable with a variety of pillows. I really appreciated that (a clean room). They did not supply shampoo, lotion and shower caps, but they did supply hair dryers and soap- the basics.
I do not recommend the breakfast buffet if you are expecting fine dining. It is simply a free meal; that is all I can say. I ate fruit and biscuits.
Unfortunately, the guests next door (who were there for a convention) were rowdy and disturbed our rest until we contacted the front desk. They responded promptly and diffused the situation. When the behavior resumed, the front desk responded again making it clear to the offenders that they would be asked to leave if the behavior continued. They also contacted the agency that booked the convention about these guests. The hotel appologized for the inconvenience and reversed the charges for our stay. That could have occurred at any hotel. I appreciated the way that the matter was handled. It resulted in a free stay, but I really would have preferred a good night's sleep :-).
Awesome hotel for concert stays.

Our first visit to Greensboro. We were in town to see the Grateful Dead on Easter night. The hotel was the perfect place to stay for this concert. We arrived on saturday and we were just in time for the free adult beverages. What a great welcome that was after 8 hrs. on the road. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The Bar tender gave us great ideas for eating dinner in the area. The room was extremely clean, beds were comfortable and the free hour of long distance was useful. The computers in the lobby were very helpful to keep up on e-mail, facebook, The Dead set lists, etc..... We enjoyed the breakfast on sunday and monday. The free breakfast had more choices than I have ever seen at a hotel. The lot was secure, the pool looked nice and the grounds were well taken care of. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to visit Greesboro. Enjoy.

I arrived at noon on the first day of my stay. I check it see if my room was ready for an early check in.... to my surprise it was. I stayed for more than one night. The maid cleaned my room all of the day's. Nothing was misplaced or stolen.... so it is nice that they have a trusted staff.
the hotel has 2 elevators... the one mid way is pretty slow. We just used the stairs or the elevator toward the front of the hotel.
At night they do provide 3 free mixed drinks and snacks. which is nice for couples wanting to get a little tipsy before they go to bed. As for me.. I was traveling with my family. When we went down for the snack hour... we felt out of place. It was like I was walking my children into a bar.
The ice machine was broken upstairs.... being everyone was drinking down stairs in the lobby
we decided to just skip the ice. I am sure the staff would have fixed it if I asked.
In our room it was a little small, and the bed's were small too..... good luck fitting 2 adults in one bed unless you get the room with just one king bed.
The indoor pool was nice. I was hard pressed to find a hotel with an indoor pool in this area.
I called around to all of the hotels in the area.... they were atleast 20 dollar's more.
This area has a lot of hotels with suites. And that is why I feel they charge more.
The street this hotel is on is a very busy one. Be careful!
You can also walk to dinner.... everything is really close. Overall this is a pretty nice hotel.

Convenient, staff were pleasant and helpful. Staff need to know a little more of the activities of the area, we had never been to Greensboro and only had one day, when asked at the front desk what there was to do (on a Saturday) other than shopping, they could not really tell us. Later that evening but a little late for us that there were lots of festivals and activities to go to, some historical sites to visit, etc.
Rooms were clean

Very Clean and comfortable room. Not overly perfumed and the idea of awakening to a hot breakfast was marvelous. Most of the time when traveling you awaken to cold ceral or muffins, if anything.
Staff was very helpful and took time to answer all my questions about the local area and restaurants for dinner that evening.
