Nice area right around the hotel. It was convenient although traffic was a bit of a mess with the construction, but that has nothing to do with the great hotel.

When checking in they ask for a $100 deposit that’s not shared on ihg website and should be especially when booking 3rd party or even on the ihg app. The elevator was down and we’re stuck on having to get an upper floor going up and down the stairs the whole stair.

Not what we expected

Actual check-in was not bad. When we got to the room, we noticed that the door lock was not working. The door could be opened even if it was supposedly locked. We had to re pack our things and move to another room. The bed frame had a metal bar sticking out under the bedskirt and it cut my husbands calf. Fortunately it was not a deep cut. The gentleman who fixed the metal piece stated that he would recommend that the front desk discount our second night stay. That did not happen. The body wash bottle was full but it did not dispense the product. I had to bathe with shampoo.
