My stay started out very rocky but the night manager was amazing! Mary the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied with our room. Breakfast was amazing! The entire staff were very accommodating. The hotel is near the city center, ladies it's a shoppers paradise! We stayed in the Jr Suite which was very spacious. The team at Atrion will go the extra mile for you!

I didn't understand I would essentially had no view. I was only 1 night so it wasn't a big deal but if I'd have stay longer, I would have insisted on a different room.
