Location is fabulous for the sites. It is a good hotel, nothing extravagant. Room was nice and had everything you need. Wish the dining options within the hotel was more varied. But again, location is fabulous.

Very convenient area, close to major attractions, dining, shopping. Very walkable to most areas. Staff were incredible. Hotel could use a good scrub. My main complaint was the fact that I booked this specific hotel for the indoor pool for our 9yr old. The pool was disgusting. Strange skim on the surface of the water and it was cold. So pool was a no go. Would I go back to this hotel, yes, if it was only me and my husband. Not a great hotel if you’re traveling with kids(we needed a rollaway bed and they never had one available) we made it work with the chase lounge and a bunch of extra bedding, but definitely wasn’t the plan. Plan to eat somewhere else than the restaurant in the hotel. No kids menu. The only thing we could find for her to eat was the lobster Mac n cheese-minus the lobster though we were still charged full price as if it had the lobster. I told my kid, I hope you enjoy your $25 Mac n cheese. Just some things to consider. It’s just not a kid friendly hotel, but you’d most likely be happy there with adults only.

Our stay stay was not as expected. Late night noise on our floor kept us up and staff didn’t do anything to resolve. At check out I voiced my concerns and staff member was completely dismissive of our concerns. Will not stay again very disappointed.

I've been unable to use my room for going on 6 hours. It was 75 degrees at check in and was so hot i had to leave. I notified the hotel and was told it would be fixed. I called again to say I'm just going to go to dinner and asked if after they changed the battery they could just check in to make sure it was working. I came back ave the room was 72 degrees. I called again and have been waiting on maintenance over 30 minutes. I even talked to the supervisor who said they send someone immediately, i called again and they don't know where he is or what to do. So I'm stuck in a hot room I've expressed multiple times is making me sick from the heat only to be ignored. I will never stay here again and I'll let everyone who will listen on every platform know what I've experienced. Absolutely and completely disgusting the way I've been treated at this location
