Dont go

I moved to two different rooms n they all had dirty bathrooms. I didnt feel like moving all my stuff AGAIN so i just settled. Hair was in both rooms, soap dispenser had old soap bubbled up on it and then they sat my new soap wrapped in new package on top. The bedding had some gooey stuff on it. The diner downstairs is super limited in food options and the place charges 25.00 per vehicle per day along with the over 200.00 per night room. It was NOT worth it.

Only advantage is the walkable location. Otherwise, everything about the hotel is a bit wonky and neglected. Drains clogged, funky smells, elevators have broken parts, hot tub is drained, mandatory valet. Not worth the high price.

Nighmare! Never again!

Music blasting. Unbearable weed stench in my room because off neighbors. My kids don't understand what is going on. The front desk says they can't do much about it. And then I'm told to calm down. Always nice to change rooms at 11 pm with wife and kids just to wake up at 4 am to get to the airport. Nighmare! Never again!
