Best part about this hotel is the shower! Ever stand under a waterfall??? That’s what it’s feels like. Overall clean room, amazing view of downtown. Rooftop bar was cool and drinks were good! The only thing is NO parking so that will run you an extra $60 if you park a few blocks down. Other than that it’s a good spot to stay
