Have been wanting to stay at this location for awhile finally got a chance to this weekend ….. the main reason was the roof top view well … little to my knowing and was not posted on the website anywhere that there was a wedding event on Saturday and the roof top was not going to be available was really disappointing…….. I understand …the event was not The issue but u would think it would of been posted online some where to let guest know the roof top area was not going to be accessible that day so there for would of rescheduled my stay since that was the main attraction for wanting to stay there in the first place …… food from restaurant over priced and sub par suggest u go to Arturo’s cafe across the street eggs Benedict. Was amazing

My stay was phenomenal. I came in to visit my sister and the stay and hotel was absolutely fabulous. Give the wings and chopped salad a try and thank me later!!! The agent working the 3-11 shift i can’t recall her name but she is normally the night audit shift was absolutely amazing. She took great care of me and my family. Jorge in valet was stellar as well. He sold me on valet advising my vehicle would be better under the valets care than on the street. Kudos to the staff at the desk and jorge for making the stay great. You all also have an amazing bartender i dont recall her name but she has pink hair!!

Stay was great! Parking was so easy- their staff was awesome! Bryan was particularly helpful as I needed my car several times throughout the evening. He was able to keep it close so I could quickly exit. They kept the cars moving and I never had to wait!

A nice stay for a conference trip. Amenities are nice. Didn’t eat the breakfast here but from others I heard it was good. The hotel is clean-which is always a plus. Best part was the care I received from the valet services-especially Bryan. He’s cheerful, funny and makes me feel comfortable when he takes my car. A pretty good hotel to stay at!
