The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived in the parking garage. They helped me with my luggage, found luggage I had failed to unload, and were tirelessly looking out for me. The 2 dinners I had from the restaurant were both excellent. The server, Colton, was very nice.

Check in was pleasant and efficient. So generous to let us check out late! Room was the perfect temp when we walked in. Bed and pillow were just like I like it. Quiet in there, could not hear neighbors at all. Valet did a wonderful job (even though I would have been happy to park myself if I had seen where to go.)

This hotel is just meh. It's not dirty, but they are doing construction so it looks raggedy. But the food was good, the rooms are decent. Clean enough to feel comfortable to sleep. The beds are comfy. The windows are extremely tiny. Lol do not expect a view here.

Loved this hotel and would certainly stay again. Room was very clean and comfortable. Nice bar and restaurant on the first floor. I didn't experience it myself as I rode with someone and he dropped me off while he parked, but he did note the parking garage wasn't the easiest to deal with. Again, I didn't see the issue for myself but wanted to note it. Otherwise, everything was perfect.
