Very pleasant business trip stay!

I had a very nice stay at this hotel and was very comfortable while there. The room was nice, clean, and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant. The free breakfast was very nice with many filling options and one of the fanciest coffee machines I've seen in a hotel, brewing fresh cups of coffee on demand without the use of disposable type kcups. Parking was also very convenient and was decently priced.

The property itself and the staff are wonderful. Very polite and accommodating. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. The shower could use some updated caulking as it did appear dingy and dirty, maybe a bit moldy. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were not great (flattened out completely when I lay my head on them) but I believe that be subjective, and the water pressure was not great…again, subjective. Overall, comfortable stay.

Parking is extra and they do not promise the saftey ir security of your vehicle. This hotel was conveniently close to the Allianz Riverfront venue and allowed us to walk there and back for a show. The room was nice but the doorknob has some sticky substance on it. The hot breakfast was good but staff do not watch or refill it quickly and the pancake machine was broken.

My only complaint is the black and pink mold that was in the caulk around the bathtub. That was the first thing I noticed when I walked in and it just left me unimpressed because that is something that is so easily fixed.

Very convenient & easily walkable to the Allianz Ampitheatre. Parking was a little scary wondering if the car was going to fit, it's a very low ceiling. Bed was comfy. Shower pressure wasn't great. Breakfast was nice!
