The staff!!!!except one person at desk at night who is to be avoided as she is very down right mean and condescending , everyone else is helpful and kind and professional beyond duty!! I’ve been heard a few days and did need a repair, the worker was kind and helpful snfbvery polite, the cleaning crew are lovely! I got stuck in elevator and lost!!! They took extra time to help me out, brought me a lovely stack of pretty folded towels when only asked for a couple little hand towels, llady in morning all week at desk deserves 10 stars out of 5! Perhaps she can coach her counterpart in the evenings. The rooms do need a deep clean but I’m ok with it because the view, comfort, layout, decor, location and 99% of staff outweigh the neeecto look close and downs extra time washing walls etc

It is comfy. Homey. Decor is lovely. View lovely. Surface cleaned but the entire room and fitness center need a deep detail cleaning. Other positive aspects outweigh need of deep clean for me. All but one person at front desk was very welcoming and very helpful. One was downright unwillingunwelcomimng and short. Because I look a meee I think! I have an emergency at my building and can’t stay there so I am not pulled together looking as usual. All in all I do live this property and will always book here if I ever need a near by hotel

The room was spotless and the beds were comfortable. The staff accommodated all of my requests: extra blankets and a quiet floor. $18 for parking seems steep to me especially when breakfast also is an extra charge, but I still would recommend staying at this hotel and I will definitely stay here on my next visit!

The room was just OK. The hole in the floor under the wall heater allowed cold air to invade the room. The parking structure is just dangerous.
