Great location and walkable to lots of spots, which made our stay easy and enjoyable. The gym was better than expected — clean and had everything we needed. A couple of drawbacks: the shower could’ve been cleaned more thoroughly (we ended up using shower shoes), and there was quite a bit of street noise at night. That said, we sleep through anything, so it didn’t bother us. We’d stay here again, but next time we’ll ask for a room with a better-maintained bathroom.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The front office was not friendly. I will say the young woman that checked me in was helpful and did assist me with my request for a room with a view. The room was nicely designed and the view was nice. I would have given this hotel a higher rating if it wasn’t for the bathroom. The bathroom had mildew and what looked like blk mold in shower grout. It was upsetting to deal with a dirty shower. I asked for a new room, the one that was offered was just as bad and had no view. We showered with our sandals on because the floor grout was so dirty. Management needs to address these issues. I asked for a manager and was told I would have to contact Expedia.

Was "Guest Of The Day" and got upgraded to a suite, which was nice. Plenty of space, great view. Nightlife was a bit noisy on a Saturday but that has more to do with location than hotel. Valet Parking was "sold out" by my arrival at 4 pm but there's some public parking next door for $56 a night.

Mediocre hotel

Hotel was very mid at best. The front desk lady was very rude upon check in. Parking was completely full so we couldn’t park our car on premises. The room was clean and nice but the walls were very thin and you could hear every door slamming. Not to mention the loud guests waking us up at 3am . Overall not the best hotel, probably wouldn’t stay again.
