Great Hotel

The staff was perhaps the friendliest staff I have encountered. Julie was a joy at 2:30 in the morning when we finally arrived after a 4 hour delay. The only 3 things - the walls seemed really thin, the house cleaners knocked on our door at 8:30 even though we were checking out at 11:30 (did I mention we had only gotten in at 2:30), and there was no a/c!

Great location for restaurants, near by neighborhoods, and jogging/outdoor space nearby. The two dining options had helpful and friendly staff with good food and cocktails. The two experiences that made this average and not great or excellent 1) the front desk could improve regarding organization and slightly rude 2) the water pressure for the shower was nonexistent.
