The room was great, the staff were friendly and helpful, the location was good. The only downside was the breakfast provided, which was minimal. We were advised by the front desk when we checked in that if we wanted a bigger breakfast that there was a place close by, which was helpful. I would stay there again.

Safe and modern hotel with a comfortable bed and clean room. We parked overnight on the street and had no issues. Walkable to dining options and very close to shows at the the Vault.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
In need of updates, breakfast was poor in both selection and flavor, offsite parking was a long distance to walk and it was LOUD with street noise. The staff was helpful and friendly. Our shower was not working and maintenance was unavailable to fix AND no room was available to switch us to do they allowed us to use a shower in another room to ensure we were taken care of.

Location/location/location. I wished this place had more amenities and I would Love it more. Breakfast was there but I can say not the best. Coffee was harsh and the toaster didn’t work. The staff was awesome and very helpful. Parking was easy and dining options all around. The room was a little dirty but I keep wipes and was able to wipe the dusty side table(and everywhere else) :)

The staff and cleanliness were stellar. Had issue with parking (parking was in an open lot some 2.5 blocks from the hotel) and we had not coffee cups or coffee in our room. Space between foot of the bed and desk was just passable. Beds were great...shower very good.
