This hotel has deteriorated substantially since we were here several years ago. Looks a little ragged. Main problem is malfunctioning HVAC. Our original room was quite hot. Fortunately, the responsive night manager found a room for us on the sixth floor where the hvac works. She said the hvac on the second and fourth floor is the problem. Bathroom door in new room does not close. Recommend avoiding this hotel, especially for $175 a night. We’ll not ever return, that’s for sure.

I am a huge fan of Hotel Indigo so when I booked this hotel I expected the same level of experience that I received at the other Hotel Indigo properties! Highly disappointed! Staff was amazing but the overall property was disgusting. Never will I stay at this location again.

It was in decent shape for age of the hotel. The bathroom seemed a little dirty. Or wasn’t cleaned well. They seem to also have some issues with the elevator

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The shower cap was the only redeeming quality
When we checked into our room (502), we had no hangers in the closet, there was no mini fridge, the door jam was unattached so we tripped on it coming in. When we pulled down the covers there was a hair in our bed - and not one from a scalp. There was a carbon monoxide detector velcro'd to the top of the dresser under the television - I am pretty sure that's not where that's supposed to be - is that even legal?! I had already called the desk for hangers, and called again requesting that our sheets be changed. The front desk clerk was kind and came upstairs. We spoke to her about the issues and she moved us to a different room. The new room (701) was a suite, however - The handheld shower head fell off, the water at the mini bar didn't turn on, the bathroom door takes full body force to slide open - and the interior handle has a sharp edge, so using that much force to open and close it actually hurts?! There were only THREE towels in the bathroom - two bath, one hand. Oh and the mat. But...3 towels?! For 2 people?! The TV is not a smart TV - and the guide buttons on the remote didn't work, and although we paid for the VERY overpriced valet parking in the app as requested ($35?! that's wild), we waited 20 mins for the car before anyone even noticed we were waiting. This was maybe one of the cringiest hotel stays ever - it was so bad it was almost comical? The staff was nice enough, but this hotel is honestly just awful. However - the shower caps were A+. so. there's that.
