a solid stay
Location was great. Hotel was lovely, a bit hipster-ish for our taste (but again, lovely). Staff was great. Thought that the $35/day amenity fee was ridiculous- just charge a fair inclusive price. A solid stay overall, but will probably stay elsewhere next time

I did not like having a $60. destination fee added to my bill but especially thought the $49. per night parking fee was way over the top. Adding up to $158. of added charges for out two night stay. This hotel was not worth the $550. for two nights.
