NIce common area designs, rooms are comfortable and nicely appointed. The only thing I did not care for was the scent ot the soaps/shampoos/lotions - much too strong, too masculine. Woujld have liked a non-scented option.

We stayed here because we had a wedding in the near -area. We took a Lyft from the hotel. Used the work out room. Everything was comfortable and quiet. We did not eat or drink there but the bar/restaurant area looked nice ( former pump room and all the photos on the wall in the lower level were fun to look at).

TERRIBLE PLACE TO STAY!!! Booked through Travelocity and had to pay an additional $100/night at the facility. Was told I had to pay a TOTAL of $99.80 at the property. Confirmation email said this would only be charged if room rate didn’t include it. Property says it’s charged to EVERY SINGLE ROOM. Then, NO STREET PARKING and the hotel valet is $62/day. Public lots nearby are not much cheaper. Finally at checkout was charged a “destination fee” that NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN! Per day!!! This place is a scam and a rip off. Good location but that’s about it. Sam and Xavier were the ONLY bright spots to the entire stay! Still have not received a refund for deposit and had to call because I was double charged daily for the valet service. They claim we had 2 cars! I flew in, and rented 1 car only, so unless someone else was using my room number, this was incorrect!!! Will NEVER stay here again!!!
