Staff were excellent. Rooftop bar was nice. 2nd floor coffee and tea 24 hour service in lounge was nice with Snacks of some fruit and nut bars. Bed comfortable. Room very small. No where to sit so the 2nd floor lounge is a good option. Hotel could use some updating. Very convenient to theaters.

We were never able to find the place! We called to get directions and ask about parking. The person that answered and was terribly rude because we had called for directions and another time to ask where we are to park. Instead of being helpful he was rude and wouldnt give us directions. We never even found the place, terrible way to treat people who are not local and having trouble. We left the city immediately and will never be back.
