The front desk and rooftop lounge staff were so, so helpful and warm. They also had little sachets of lavender in the lobby for guests on a rainy day, I put one in my luggage on the way home. Nice attention to detail. But really the standout element was the staff. Thank you!

It was very nice overall. Bathrooms need some love. The shower was super cheap and somewhat dirty. The breakfast was ok, but that orange juice is gross. I would definitely stay again. Staff was friendly and Valet was quick. Great location if you're going to the expo center.

We had no issues with the hotel itself during our stay. Unfortunately when we woke up in the morning over 10 cars had been broken into including ours. Multiple items stolen from multiple vehicles. The hotel and valet staff didn’t do much to help. They put trash bags over the windows and told us to file a police report. That’s it. No help from the hotel or compensation for the damages/lost items. To top it off. This is not the first time this has happened here.
