The guest I booked for reported that the front desk was not very cheerful when the guest reported that the bar was very loud and she couldn't get to sleep. She was offered ear plugs, but it was not a restful time there. The other guest who was on the 9th floor also reported hearing the loud music from the bar.

Amazing staff and service, and very clean, however, very loud on weekends with nightclub below and partiers in the halls at all hours. Would stay again if I was there mid week as it’s a very convenient location and I love the valet parking but I wouldn’t consider it for a Fri or Sat night.

The staff was very professional, helpful, and friendly! Room was clean and has modern decor. Location is excellent for getting around the area on foot or public transportation. If you have a car, the hotel has valet parking but it is very busy out front and can be difficult to drop off and pick up your car. We opted for a public parking location less than a 5 minute walk away and that worked great.
