Disliked: Amenities
Staff was awesome, room was clean. However, the $14 “resort fee” seemed excessive only because you don’t really get amenities. They did have a continental breakfast- but it was lack luster, with a few of the items being “blah”. We only stayed one night, and it was OK, but can’t say it will be at the top of my list next time we stay in the city.

Beautiful view and wonderful staff to boot! We got to town early but had called to ask if we could store our baggage. They went above and beyond to get a room ready for us when we arrived at the hotel at 11:00 am! Thank you to the front desk staff as well as the housekeepers.

Big room, excellent view and staff are friendly. The down side.. no sign about toilet and we had issue, eventually they did fix it. Cleaning- need to ask for .. we did not know we need to ask, once it was cleaned but amenities were not fill out so we need to ask manually. Happy to stay but can be improved for better in the future.

Honestly I loved this hotel so much I’m almost craving to go back lol. We had a really hard time initially finding where the actual hotel was and the parking garage was slightly confusing But totally worth it. I love how secretive the hotel was and how no one would really know it’s there unless you’re staying there. This place was wonderful and we will absolutely be back.
