It was a good stay, We had loud people above us. Kids jumping and running around. Bathroom floor could've been swept better. Hair from other people. But other than that not a bad stay.. I would book again if needed too

Second time at Avid! I like the property. However they charge for the smallest things. Hot chocolate should be free. Given that not everyone drinks coffee! Other than that, always a great and quick stay.

Great location to stay for entertainment purposes. Staff members are very friendly & helpful. Negative- room temperature isn’t that cool & we had a damp smell. Besides that overall nice hotel. Unfortunately, I won’t come back.

Happy CPA

When I began traveling for business, I tried a few hotels that I was not happy with. Once I stayed at Avid, I decided that it is the only hotel I will stay at. It is clean,and I love the primary colors. Breakfast is good too. The reception desk employees could not be nicer, especially the one who is always there when I come back to the hotel around 10:00pm. She is super sweet.
