Alright now--hotel talk, because where you lay your head matters. And this one? Quietly understood…read morethe assignment.
Yelp says 3.5 stars, and respectfully... I'm not sure who they were staying with, because my experience was a solid 5 out of 5. No debate.
From the moment I pulled up, I was impressed. The exterior was clean, well-kept, and inviting--already a good sign. Then I walked inside and oh my goodness... the smell. Fresh. Clean. Comforting. The kind of scent that makes your shoulders drop like, okay, I can exhale here. I even said out loud to Mercedes, "It smells really good in here," because when something hits, it hits.
The lobby? Clean, polished, welcoming. And y'all already know--if it doesn't pass the cleanliness and smell test, I'm mentally checking out. This place passed with flying colors.
They're currently doing renovations on the first floor, so guests were placed on the second floor and up. I stayed on the second floor, and it was quiet, comfortable, and exactly what I needed. No chaos, no weird smells, no mystery noises. Peace.
This will absolutely be a go-to hotel for me. Honestly, I could see myself booking a weekend here just to chill and explore. There are so many little shops in the area, which is dangerous for someone with... let's call them aspirational spending habits. But worth it.
Now let's talk breakfast.
The continental breakfast was giving continental breakfast--nothing fancy, nothing offensive. It was good. Would I have loved the food to be kept a little hotter? Sure. But let's be real--it's included. "Free." (Yes, we know we paid for it in the stay, but still.)
Bottom line:
* Clean?
* Smells amazing?
* Comfortable and welcoming?
* Great location?
If you're staying in Addison, do yourself a favor and check them out. This one feels like home--in the best way.
