Everyone at the hotel was amazing. My understanding is this used to be a different hotel chain, not part of the marriott family that it is now.There were issues in the room. Not big stuff, just little stuff, knobs falling off, the heater grate falling off. Just ittle stuff.

We loved the fun and unique design of this hotel, and the Morningbird cafe was delicious! However, the room temperature was uncomfortably warm, and adjusting the thermostat didn’t seem to change anything. No fan in the bathroom left the room even warmer and muggier after a shower. The ambiance in the room was a cool idea, but the vanity lighting was too dark and made getting ready difficult.

The hotel its self was very nice, comfortable beds, very nice staff. Only downfall is the parking amount, if I remember correctly it’s 55 a night with in and out privileges. Other than that I would definitely stay again. I loved the pink theme!
