The hotel is clean, well kept, and the housekeeping staff and breakfast staff are incredibly attentive and friendly. However. The front desk staff are a mixed bag, with some welcoming us back and remembering we were guests and others needing a refresher on what it means to provide hospitality. The first night we arrived there was no parking in the lot of the hotel and by the 4th night there was not either. Plan to park in the parking garages or in a street lot somewhere nearby as there is often no parking in the lot and if there is, plan for it to be a frustrating game to get a spot with the fickle front desk staff. Would stay agin if the price was right, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I did love how clean the place is. But there are two gentlemen in there. I hate to say it but around their 50s, just doesn't seem friendly. They are the only reason why I didn't like my stay. Maybe because I'm from out of town. They are not use to people out of town. But the younger staff in their 30s seem friendly and smiled. But the two gentlemen seem like they were not welcoming. As far as the parking is concern next to the hotel. I wish the parking was a little wider. It felt small. Maybe extend the parking lines wider. The hotel made it known that they aren't responsible for damage cars but next to me, a car opened his door and he hit my girlfriend's door. My gf is so nice that she didn't care. If it was my car I would have to call police and insurance. The guy didn't even apologized. He goes "I wouldn't do that on purpose" and drove off. He seemed high. overall my experience was 3.5/5

This hotel was highly rated on Expedia and other sites and lived up to the star rating! 1) significantly cheaper than other downtown hotels of similar quality and reviews. Parking is $20/ night, and $60/ night at other downtown hotels. 2) we were kindly allowed a late checkout on more than one room 3) clean rooms with comfortable beds! Excellent blackout shades (allowed kids to sleep an additional hour in the morning) 4) up-to-date mini-fridges in rooms 5) small-ish but nice pool and nice hot tub 6) Though selection is standard, breakfast presentation is very pleasant and makes you more excited about breakfast! 7) the hotel has invested in quality coffee at the 24-hour coffee station. Costa Rican bold. Note that streets outside the hotel are quite noisy and you can hear street noise in rooms.

I thought this hotel was really nice! Spacious and clean rooms, very kind front desk staff, and the parking garage across the street was easy to navigate and not very full so parking was easy and safe. Breakfast options were some of the best I've seen for a free hotel breakfast! They also have a parking lot connected if you wish to use that space as well once you've checked in, but we just used the garage. Construction around the area was a bit of a pain to navigate but that's not a reflection of the hotel whatsoever. We stayed there to go to a convention in the convention center which was very conveniently only a 3 minute walk away! Thanks again!
