Staff was very accommodating and acknowledged our separate requests. The pool is small but accessible until 11 PM. The gym is tucked away in a very discreet area, by the pool, which I appreciated. The property bar also had a happy hour, and the bar staff was just as nice and accommodating as the rest of the team. What I liked most about this property is that parking feels safe and the check-in process was smooth. A couple of tips for future guests: unload your luggage at the lobby area first, as there are only two parking levels—lower and upper—and the only entrance to the rooms is through the lobby. The rooms were just as presented in the pictures, which was a plus. Note that breakfast is not included and costs $20 per person. Parking is $35 per night. These fees may be listed in the property description, but they’re easy to miss when you’re quickly scanning through room options.

Parking was confusing and the staff was knowledgeable about the area. The room is OK and the location was great. I had asked for my room to be cleaned twice and they were only doing it one time but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. I’d stay here again because now I know the lay of the land

2 night stay

We stayed here Friday and Saturday night. The room was good. Parking was a nightmare. Spaces too small and limited spaces available. There are also only 2 elevators and we were having to wait a long time for them whenever we had to use them. Being on the 9th floor there was no way we could use the stairs.
