Staff is super friendly and helpful... Makes you feel welcomed. Place was under renovation during my stay. My room was already renovated and bed was comfortable. Breakfast and coffee was available daily. Plenty of parking in top lot, as well as garage parking. Restaurant available in walking distance. Very close, about 4min drive to UC Health hospital. Vending and Laundry facility ($1.50/load per wash & per dry, so $3 total). However no laundry products or bags available for sale, must bring your own. This could change after the reno is complete though.

I booked this stay through Priceline, and in hindsight, calling ahead might have been helpful. A significant portion of the first floor is currently under construction, and it’s important to know that when you walk in, you are essentially entering a construction zone.
That said, guest services were genuinely helpful and professional throughout our stay. We were on the fifth floor, which was clean, quiet, and comfortable.
I did notice an area on the ceiling of our room that appeared unfinished or poorly painted — I’m not certain whether it’s related to the construction, but it stood out. While this is purely cosmetic, it does contribute to the overall impression.
In its current condition, I would say this property falls closer to a two to two-and-a-half star experience rather than the three-star designation it carries. The hotel clearly has potential, but it needs a fair amount of TLC before it fully meets that standard.
With the renovations completed, this could be a solid option — but for now, I’d recommend managing expectations.

I am currently spending my second night at this hotel and had to take a moment to write a review detailing this outstanding experience. You will not meet a more welcoming and friendly staff. Everyone we have encountered radiates joy and works hard to ensure an exceptional stay. The warm, positive atmosphere permeates every part of the hotel. The lobby is under construction, but it has had zero impact on our stay. Our room was freshly renovated, exceptionally clean, and quiet. The hotel is in a fantastic location for a visit to UC Health and provides a welcome retreat. Do not hesitate to book your stay here!

Hotel is in a long and protracted remodel. I recommend not booking at this location until the remodel is finished
