Staff was amazing, rooms clean but small. Was on 9th floor & was awakened @ 1:30am by loud banging noises & trucks backing up, possible garbage trucks, that seemed to go on for an hour. Was surprized to hear that on the 9th floor. Great central location, walked everywhere but some areas very sketchy. Was definitely not comfortable walking at night

Not a good experience.

We were in room 226 and it was above the loading docks, no matter the tep in the room the floor was really cold. Parking was a nightmare, it was around the block with no access to the hotel because or construction, it was a maze and with 2 small kids with you it was less than good.there were only about eight oversized parking spaces on the main level for SUVs. SUVs will not fit on any of the other levels and people were parking their regular cars where they weren't supposed to, I had to wait quite a long time for a vehicle to move just so I could park my truck, nothing was enforced. The pool was in another hotel! There was a small disclaimer on the website saying the pool access was closed but I didn't see it, it was not very obvious. Not a good experience overall. If I hadn't had my kids with me I definitely would have moved hotels.

The rooms are super small. Hotel pool indoor access was unavailable and we had no advance notice of this. The front desk staff weren’t very friendly. Hotel breakfast egg guy was great but the wait staff were rude and we butted heads a lot. I wouldn’t stay here again- it’s not worth the money. Also hotel housekeeping staff bother you all morning to find out what time you are checking out around 9am when checkout is noon.
