Stayed here for just one night for a concert in the area. The person at the front desk who checked us in/out was so nice! Wish I could remember his name. Love the cookies too. Room was clean except for a fake eyelash strip on the desk. Beds were comfy! Only real issue is that the next day we weren’t able to use the sink or shower as the water was off for some reason. Was a bit of a bummer to not be able to shower before heading out.

My entire stay there was no hot water. I checked in Monday evening and went back down about an hour later to tell them that I didn't have hot water and was informed that maintenance was working in on. I came back Tuesday evening after an all day seminar and still no hot water, they switched my room to a different room down the hall and lo and behold still no hot water. According to the woman who worked the front desk because I took the cheap route and booked with Expedia I was not eligible for any refunds or discounts. I spent over $150 nightly to be comfortable and not having hot water to shower is definitely not comfortable
