We regret not reading the reviews more carefully before booking. We gave this property a 2 solely for the excellent location and nicely designed rooms—unfortunately, everything else fell short for the price. At check-in, we waited 20 minutes with no one at the front desk and no way to alert staff. The employee who eventually checked us in had been sitting in the lobby the entire time and was curt and unhelpful. We were told Wi-Fi was down and late checkout wasn’t available, though we were encouraged to enjoy the rooftop after checkout. One of the main reasons we booked was the rooftop bar, but when we went up at 7:45 p.m., we were told they were closing early despite a posted 10 p.m. closing time—on a holiday weekend. It was also closed the following day, so we never got to experience it. Breakfast consisted of prepackaged, processed items in the lobby, which did not match the property’s price point. While the location and room design are strong, the service and amenities did not justify the cost. That said, we want to recognize Ajanae, who we met after checkout. She was kind and professional, and we believe our experience would have been very different had she handled our check-in. She is a true asset to the property.

This is a beautiful hotel. I booked two rooms one for my husband and myself and another room for my parents. Both rooms were clean and very lush. The front desk ladies were so friendly and made great recommendations. We ate at the hotel’s restaurant and the food was amazing. We saw a show on their fourth floor in the grand ballroom which was so fun. For an older hotel everything was so nice. Highly recommend staying here 10 out of 10.

Great amazing Location. Walk to everything. High quality room. Gets loud at night but that's the night life in area. Rooms not soundproof was a problem. Big issue of mine was no hot water after 10 pm. So didn't have hot shower or face cloth to wash up. But water was fine in morning. My guess is boiler is undersized with all the rooms having deep tubs. Continental breakfast was very minimal and poor options, no staff even bothered to offer service or assistance during it. All things considered ill try the other hotel down the corner next time.
