Poor experience

Poor experience, starting with the difficulty of parking with a $40 valet service, and the constant noise from toilet flushing that could be heard almost nonstop. Also, be careful in the bathroom, when you flush, water literally splashes on the floor.

The staff was very polite and always helpful. Lobby was clean and welcoming and Valet was quick to retrieve our vehicle. Only a few things to note. The hallways were so hot that it was uncomfortable. The towels in the room, were quit stiff and starchy. Not soft and supple like you expect from a towel. The ice machine on our floor did not work, but all others I found worked just fine. I would stay here again.

Overpriced and not accommodating-thieves

I will start with the good. -clean rooms and clean overall -nice pillows, big tv, nice writing desk -nice big comfortable lobby Less good. -beds are not very comfortable -toilets are very low and drip water -shower doors to not stay closed and water gets all over the floor -bathroom and closet share a sliding door... just weird -no complimentary breakfast:costs $23 PER PERSON extra for the normal breakfast you get at any nicer hotel -no parking besides their valet: costs $45 per day --some valet workers are very nice and they bring the car very quickly. But others are RUDE AS HECK. Their employees stole a magnet off the backside of my car. Went in with the magnet, came out without it and only valet workers go into the parking garage -will not help out guests whatsoever: we were there only for my husband to take the Bar exam, which they were hosting. The test is 2 days 9-5. Checkout was 11 am and they would accommodate anyone to stay in the rooms longer, unless you paid $35 for ONE HOUR LONGER. Cars left in the parking garage past 5 also were charged another $45, so anyone taking the exam there alone were charged an extra $45 when the exam THEY WERE HOSTING ended at 5 For $200+ per night, this was an astronomically horrible experience and WAY overpriced. We will never stay here again. Highly recommend though if you're traveling for business, need a nice place for 12 hours and you have a business credit card.

This hotel is clean, great staff. Bar area was too lit for my and my girl to have a romantic pre-dinner drink. Was more like a cafeteria. There was a girl dance competition and the lady checking us in asked if we were part of it, when I said no, she moved us to a quiet floor which was so nice. Valet was great, left something in car and they ran and got it. Great evening.

The toilets are terrible, fine for a midget, but for a normal size person way to small, I don't think they are standard height. they are so small if you have bad knees good luck getting up. I have bad knees and was almost stuck there, it was a scary moment trying to stand. then watch out for taking a shower-if someone flushes you get a cold shower. the sheets on my bed had stains on it, but it was a clean room.
