We had a fantastic check-in experience our check-in guide nudged us to get an Uber instead of driving because we are going to a concert. Our hotel room was lovely and I feel like the stuff at this hotel should all get raises because we had such a lovely time.

I liked that it was close to a couple shopping centers. What I didn't like is that the room I booked wasn't available (probably because I booked 3rd party and chose to pay at check in) but the lady found me a room with what I asked for. Another thing I didn't like is that they didn't offer free breakfast or at the very least a free coffee station. BUT you were able to purchase coffee at their franchised Starbucks for $6 and buy breakfast too. Plenty of other hotels in walking distance that do offer what this place didn't.

Not worth it

When we first arrived check in was smooth but when the air conditioner went on we got hit with a bunch of dust and it didn’t clear out for a few hours. The room was noisy, the door lock kept getting stuck and we had issues with the smell of marijuna kept leaking into our room. We had to check out early because of the smell getting us sick and I was charged double to check out early. I would never stay here again
