We stayed at the Paramount recently when we brought our son back up to his dorm. We usually stay somewhere closer to i-75, but I wanted to be closer. Our room was drop dead gorgeous.

The Voluntary Service Department at the VA Hospital recently held their annual Voluntary Appreciation Luncheon at the Paramount. I have to say my hat is off to Tracy Ryan and her staff.

I was here for almost a week. The entire staff was friendly and engaging. Great rooms, rates, and clean. Also highly recommend eating at the restaurant. Definitely will be staying here next time. They are 100% non smoking which makes for a great addition to any stay. Beautiful views overlooking a nice natural setting.
