Everything met my expectations We like the the free complementary drinks, starbucks in the hotel was pleasant aswell. The breakfast was okay, the view was pretty nice. Unfortunately the room next to us had some people who sounded drunk and they were making alot of noise and i couldn’t really sleep but i know that is not the hotels responsibility. I would recommend staying here it was an okay stay.

The staff had a generally annoyed demeanor. First, I arrive to find that there’s no parking. It’s an extra $22 per night. I was misquoted on how much I’d be charged for parking and no one cared to honor the price I’d been given. They also added a $75 deposit to the price. I asked if children were allowed on the rooftop bar, and was told that they were. So me and my kids picked up dinner and brought it up to the roof to eat. We were pretty excited. After we unpacked our food, we were asked to leave because we brought outside food. It didn’t matter that we were paying customers. So I had to pack all of the food back up and take my disappointed kids down to the hotel room to crowd around a desk and an end table to eat our dinner. The pool is small. It only goes to 5ft and it’ll make your skin break out if you don’t bathe with soap immediately after use. Also, there’s no bathroom access from the pool without your keycard to get back in. Incredibly inconvenient. They would only stock one spare roll of toilet paper in the room at a time. We ended up running out on check-out day and had to use tissues. Breakfast is really not good quality. The potatoes are inedible. The eggs are liquid egg. The French toast is not good. The sprite came out of the fountain machine already flat. The glasses are incredibly small. Staff isn’t on top of restocking glasses when they run out, they even run out of the disposable coffee cups too. They only put one person in the kitchen and when they’re ma

We enjoyed the room, the view, and the breakfast buffet. Biggest downside was that the mattresses were uncomfortable. $300 for a night and $50 security deposit to then find out it's an additional $22 to park on the parking deck, felt excessive.

We reserved a river front view but our room was on the side, not much view except rooftops next door. The room was clean and quiet, however the sofa was very old and in poor condition. The bed was very comfotable, the room was serviced daily with towels. It was a pleasant stay. The breakfast buffet is not quite as good as it used to be, the food was often cold and some items were not edible, yet other items were good. Hit or miss I guess. The tv in the bedroom did not work but a call to the front desk and it was promptly fixed.
