Stayed at this hotel a year ago, the stay not memorable, good or bad. I opted to stay again because the location was perfect for an event I was attending. My guest and I were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful and fun remodel We ended up booking another night. Desk staff was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that the bathroom vanity mirror/light was very dim which made it difficult to apply make-up.

There was a weird smell in the first room we were assigned. Had to get another one but the staff was cool about it. The color of the walls were weird and the carpet needs cleaning. The location was good is the only other thing I can say.

Beautiful property that was Conveniently located. It was in walking distance to great dinning options, parks and museums. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was staff. They have a very unhappy, rude bartender in their lounge. We went in two night in a row to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. She overcharges and gets offended when you point out her mistakes. She complains about other staff members in front of her customers. The hotel allows dogs. We had a dog on our floor who barked when her owners were away. I give the staff credit, they took care of it for us. Last, we had arranged for a late check out, yet the housekeeping knocked on our door multiple times starting at 0800. We told her we had a noon check out but she persisted.

The property is truly stunning and I appreciated my time there, although I encountered a few issues that affected my experience. Initially, the room I was given had a strong mildew smell that was both off-putting and raised health concerns. I had to ask for a different room. Subsequently, I was moved to a handicap-accessible room, which was not what I had originally booked. The layout and amenities were not appropriate for my needs, leading to some discomfort during my stay. For instance, I found myself doing my makeup on the floor since there was no countertop in the bathroom. Ultimately, Katie and Gabby played a significant role in making my experience enjoyable.
