We were quite disappointed in the location of our room, it was in a very dark location of the hotel with limited daylight that we looked out onto a concrete wall. The hallways are very loud, you hear every door slam and voices in your room. The location of the hotel is less to be desired with a homeless population frequent directly outside of the hotel doors.

The only issue I have with this property is the parking. Once you figure it out it is fine, but trying to check in to the hotel and not have any clue how to park and exactly where was very frustrating.

We are Hotel.Com gold members which apparently means nothing at this Hotel. We attempted to check in early @ Noon. Nope! No room upgrade offered, the hotel is super hectic all day long. One day our room was not made up upon our long day return. @ 7:00 pm Rooms are tiny, no drawers for clothes. We had a 5 night stay, totally living out of our 3 luggages. Breakfast was mediocre but convenient. Location was excellent

We loved the hotel and our room. The stay was over positive! Information about parking was not disclosed by staff or in the reservation. Luckily we didn’t have a lot of luggage so we were able to walk with it from the Q Park to the hotel. The room did get warm and the temperature wasn’t able to be adjusted. Thank you
