Bed’s amazing, location unbeatable! Sucks they make you pay a 35$ resort fee on top of all the fees you already have to pay and room fee as well.

Nice location, interesting architecture. But the place seemed a bit tired to us and in need of a refresh. Room was tiny, not well equipped (ex. Teapot but no coffee maker). We would not stay there again.

The hotel was located in a safe, convenient location. The room maximizes space for an efficient stay plus all the amenities you would expect, plus some. The in-hotel restaurant ioffers an outstanding menu, great service. Room was squeaky clean. Nice, safe, quiet, and convenient stay. Downsides: the valet was inattentive (not to be found) when we pulled up a little after 8 PM as was the bellman whose duties end at 7:30. The good news, parking is literally around the corner and the bellman carts around the corner from the front desk. So, a little self-service never hurt anyone.
