Great location! So much within walking distance. Very clean, maid service was excellent. Only thing that requires improvement is the free breakfast. Eggs were cold, potatoes were cold, toaster would not toast anything and the coffee in the carafe was cold.

We get to the property, valet is a NIGHTMARE AND RUDE. WORST service of my life. Takes us almost hour to get my car checked in and we go into the hotel. When I get up to the counter, the clerk says we have bad news. Were overbooked and we can't accommodate you. Expedia never reached out. The elemental never did either. Worst experience at a hotel. Do not recommend.
