This is not a place to stay with someone else. The rooms are minuscule, there is no privacy to use the bathroom, and you can’t get out of bed without climbing over someone. Thee is absolutely no water pressure anywhere. No cups for water, and they make you go downstairs to the bar to ask for ice for your room. When we asked why, we were told so guests would buy a drink while down there. It’s just a place I would never return to ever in my life.

its not bad, considering.... but we all understand this is not a 4-star hotel, right? to the 20-somethings, which is the target market, it may seem so. but its no four seasons by any stretch. and the rooms are smaller than tiny.

All good, except parking. You might get lucky and grab one of the few spots out front, pay for overnight garage parking (which can cost almost as much as the room), or take your chances and risk a ticket or tow. To be fair, to be faaair…, the hotel did disclosure that there is no parking available.
