Very quiet and clean. Only issue was the cost of valet overnight parking. Would return if I'm back in the neighborhood.

I stayed here this month for a work trip for two nights. Upon arriving at the room, I smelled something was off and assumed it was mildew or mold, which I didn't think was too big of an issue. When falling asleep that night, I smelled a strong odor of urine. Left the hotel room early and was out all day for work. When I returned to the hotel room at 6pm, I asked one of my coworkers to smell the bed because I still believed that the smell was in my head. We discovered the box spring of the bed had been urinated on by a previous guest on the left side of the bed. I called the front desk, to which the staff member disregarded my complaint, stating it was too late for me to be calling about this issue, assuming that I was the one who urinated on the bed and that I should suck it up and deal with it for the last night of my stay. Mind you, I am on a work trip and I have traveled 5 hours to be here for two nights, and I would like to not spend both of those nights sleeping on pee. After two of my coworkers spoke with this lady, I got moved to a new room with a sunshade that didn't work. We were offered free waters to compensate for our bad experience and disgusting hotel room, how sweet! If you don't mind sleeping on someone else's bodily fluids, then by all means, this is the place for you. But if you are traveling or on a work trip and don't have time to deal with someone's attitude + piss, then BOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
