The room was adequate, good size. There was no view other than the parking area for the apartments behind the hotel. Not a lot of good restaurants within a 10 minute walk. No close by shopping to speak of. Overall, our stay was fine, but a bit over priced.

Room was great—clean, comfortable, and attractive. However our main issue came from the valet protocol. Please advertise valet only and or mention options of parking on the street. If valet is only possible, include it in nightly fee. The current system is misleading and appears to simply be a cash grab

There was no staff at the check-in desk when I arrived, which was fine as I was heading to the in-house bar to meet a friend. Bar service was friendly and made excellent cocktails. I did arrive mid afternoon on a Sunday and the hotel in general was not busy. The room was clean and large. The valet made sure it was easy for me to get my car the next morning for a 6 AM check out. The lobby offers coffee and water, but unfortunately, the coffee was not ready when I was checking out.
