The rooms are always grubby. Always. Friendly staff and great location brings me back even though I always swear never again!

This place feels so damn old and just dingy bad location food options that are OK. Staff is friendly, but not worth it. Came back later in the evening around 11:30 PM. There’s a homeless man passed out in front of the main entry point had to walk over him.

Had such a nice stay this weekend- everything from the valet parking, the staff, the rooms, the rooftop bar, literally so great. Can’t wait to come back!

No fridge or microwave in the room were negatives. A fridge can be requested, but we arrived at 10pm and staff were not available to bring a fridge. My milk got warm. Hotel also ran out of regular coffee packets. I called asking for regular coffee and was delivered extra decaf. Asked at the front desk and they got me a comped coffee from the cafe, but I really just want something for when I wake up tomorrow. I guess I'll run to 7-11 and get some instant. These are not fatal flaws, the room was clean and quiet.
