I was nervous of the off-site parking but it worked out. Short walk to the museum and the whiskey bar was amazing. Shout out to the bartender.

Everything about the stay was wonderful , except for the size of the room. It was clearly listed in the details when we made the reservation, however, we overlooked it. It was very small and took a little bit of getting used to, but in the end, everything was fantastic.

So Disappointed!!

My daughter and I stayed here for one night. It was not kid friendly, at all. We tried to get out of our TINY room and eat downstairs in the lobby. The attendant told us we couldn’t eat there. We couldn’t go on the roof either because she wasn’t 21. We were told we could go eat in our rooms. The attendant by the bar was very rude. The only people who were kind were the two young ladies working during the morning shift on June 14, 2025. I think Dinora checked me in. She actually allowed me to check in earlier than expected. She was very accommodating! One other issue was the level of noise that could be heard all night. Apparently, the windows were not sound proof. I had to catch a 7:00 am flight. I couldn’t sleep at all because of sirens, cars and everything else going by the entire night. It was horrendous. Motto by Hilton was certainly not worth $195 per night.
