Sunday morning, Continental breakfast was poorly maintained. No regular coffee, had to ask for a knife, sign offering kitchen options without a attendee. Love the location for a The Vault concert even though it is street parking.

Run away, the hotel management doesn’t give a damn

This hotel may have been great when it first opened but the hotel administration just don’t give a damn, Especially the young woman at the evening desk. She made up rules about parking and the towing of customer’s cars. I had a handicapped person in our party. This young woman on the evening desk told us we could park in front of the hotel on the street and then waited until 11pm at night to call and tell us we would get towed unless we moved our car. I found out the next day that if my car were to get towed it would be by her and not the police. Please read reviews. I wish I had. Never again.
