It was a nice area and a nice hotel on the surface. A few things that weren’t good though: - AC is not controlled in the room. It got super hot at night and we had to call reception in the middle of the night to adjust it. - no drinking water available, only ice. - Elevator controls were broken on 6th floor so we couldn’t call the elevator. - It was super loud at night due to motor bikes revving outside even at 2am. Restaurants in the area were great.

The staff was amazing! However, the room and common areas were not clean. Also, it is a noisy area due to the night life and not a place you want to walk at night or alone. There were homeless people living in the parking garage.

This was not the girl trip we thought we were going to have. First all let me at least give compliments to the staff. They were extremely professional and accommodating as much as they could. Especially valet staff. Very professional and helpful. However, this building is in desperate need of a upgrade. Elevator did not show what floor you were on due to broken screen. Only one worked. The rooms are also extremely small for a standard compared to under chains. The parking is horrific so to charfe $41 a night is ridiculous. But i gotbto also say hats off to chef at cafe. Very good food and warm host. Great location. Would get better ratings if building and parking was upgraded.

Old building. One working elevator that everyone including staff used. Unfriendly or better yet, didn’t seem like they wanted to be there staff. No air controls in the room. Had to call front desk to change the temperature in the room. Shower didn’t hold the water in. Floor would be soaked. Just over all not the best experience, especially for the money. Also, online photos didn’t lineup with how the building and interior actually looked. Will not be staying there again.

We stayed for 3 nights, and overall it was okay. We had a suite it was pretty nice but couch and chairs pretty uncomfortable. Bed wasn't bad. Tv's suck and aren't smart tv's. Valet parking was 38 bucks a night which is a bit high i thought. But valet guys were great! The red haired check in lady was less than happy, and i am certain would prefer that we werent there at all. Oh and the thermostat has to be controlled by the front desk. We told them to set it at 68. It was 77 degrees in there at night. On second thought we will never stay there again. Good thing there are many other options in the area.
