I stayed a weekend at the hotel and upon entering there is a restaurant. The hotel check in is upstairs. I’m not a fan of that setup because I was confused as to where to go when my Lyft dropped me off. The staff is very nice and friendly. They interacted with guests in passing. In my room there was noticeable wear and tear. Overall the room was clean. I used the spa. You have to book with them for them to open the spa. It seems like a company rents the space out and comes to service you as needed. I enjoyed my spa experience. Lastly, the restaurant was okay. It didn’t have enough variety for me but the tomato soup and cheesecake I enjoyed.

The room was spacious for two. The location was easy to reach from the bus line. We were able to check in early! The only problems were that the phone would ring randomly throughout the morning. We didn't ask for any wake-up calls, and you could hear through the walls into the next room. All in all, the hotel location was a good choice for this trip.
