The room was great, but I was charged an extra $80 in “fees” after booking through Expedia. The hotel stated that this is their resort fee. The rooftop was closed, and the front desk wasn’t as pleasant as I would have hoped.

Liked: Room comfort
One of the outlets for charging next to the bed did not work. A previous guest left a bunch of trash/articles of clothing and housekeeping didn’t dispose. Morning of check out the toilet was clogged and nobody reported it, when I realized I reported and took nearly an hour for someone to fix, literally did it in 1 minute.
