We chose this hotel for my husband’s birthday weekend. The room was spacious clean and trendy. The bed was so comfortable. The happy hour was excellent and the game room and bar on the second floor was fabulous. The customer service was phenomenal. They surprised my husband with a goody bag for his birthday which was the icing on the cake. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations but it was still a great stay.

The location was great and made it easy to navigate about the city. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful, and the perks of staying here were great. They offered a complimentary item from the coffee shop and hosted happy hour during my stay. My room was neat and well kept and a great place for me to land.
