Overall great!
Overall great! Very friendly staff, comfortable, and clean. Only complaints were the shower handle was broken and took a while to get the correct water temp and figure out how to work it. There was a hair wad in the shower drain. Not terrible but just not pleasant to see.

ALERT—— the only parking is valet and it’s $52 per night. When I booked this hotel stay for two nights, 8 months ago, this important information was not mentioned. The hotel itself was fairly quiet but the street noise from all the night walkers during 2-5am was annoying.

This is the second rime we've stayed and we loved it the first time so we rebooked. Overall one of the best we've stayed at, from the room, to the staff. This is truly what the hospitality industry should be.

The overall appearance did not match the photo layout on the website. It was extremely misleading. The elevators were small, the rooms were small, mattress extremely uncomfortable. The only good thing about my stay was the staff and food. The staff was amazing the moved like a well oiled machine ...I shared my concerns with the general manager and he advised that I reach out to your company with my concerns. The renovation were in process and it spoiled my entire visit. i did not see the notice pertaining to that on the website. At this point I want a FULL refund, due to the website being misleading.

I liked my floor, I wish the other floors were renovated because right when you walk in, it smells. Also WiFi wasn’t the best. I had to hotspot anytime I needed to work.

Bed was horrible. My back began aching at 3 am. Then when I got up at6 a.m a mentally ill person was screaming right outside the hotel and kept screaming until 7:45. Staff was very nice.

Location was great for the price, breakfast was good as well. Valet was a little slow, the bar area had a foul smell and the homeless people surrounding the hotel was a little disturbing. Not a bad stay overall.
