The property needs a lot more attention to maintenance, upkeep, and details. It's a "nice at first glance" property but when you look a layer deeper, there are a lot of things that need to be updated or repaired (like exposed recessed lighting without the covers), and the sheets/bedding literally came off the bed exposing the bed underneath. It's overall poor management. We also stayed at an airport Marriott which was actually nicer than this hotel we splurged on. The location is nice, the rooftop dining and view were nice, the people at the front desk were fine - the one who seemed like the manager was the nicest and most helpful. But overall it's definitely a pass on this property, I wouldn't return.

Pretty hotel. Nice check in staff. Pool is pretty but small. Fire alarm went off at 2am due to being attached to a neighboring parking garage system. No comps offered for the inconvenience. Self pay parking is $26 so be expected for that add on expense because limited neighborhood parking available. Shower and bed were nice but cleanliness around the bathroom was b grade. Overall 4.2

My stay at this property was just ehh, it definitely was not worth the money spent. I’ve stayed high end hotels before and this wasn’t one. It had the idea but failed to deliver. The hotel needs to be renovated. My bathroom had molding and cracks; there was left over trash or paper someone drop between the mattress and the base of the bed. The room was extremely dark and the air conditioning was sub par. I kept opening the balcony door for a breeze. No clock or Bluetooth speaker? At $700 for 2 nights, I should have had a grand experience. Staff was great but the room was not worth a return.

The front desk staff was very friendly at check-in. The room was nice, but guests next door were very loud... up past midnight having very loud conversations, coming and going from the room frequently, and slamming the door each time. Someone seemed to locked out and was pounding don't and was pounding on the door and shouting to get in at 3 am... weird since you need a room key to access the guest floors via the elevator. Had breakfast in the restaurant on morning of our departure and the waitress was cranky when we didn't greet her and ask her how she doing when she first arrived at our table. Upon check out, we asked for the folio to be emailed to us. An hour later, after departing the property, we reviewed the email and found our breakfast charge was nearly triple the receipt we signed. We immediately called the hotel and got the run around. The front desk couldn't fix it and sent the call to the restaurant. The restaurant confirmed the amount sent to the folio matched the receipt and couldn't explain why it showed up at a higher amount. Back and forth, and no one could fix it. We called again the following day and were told a new folio would be sent, but it never was. The charge went through for the full amount, and no further update was provided from the hotel, so I decided to dispute the charge and let the cc company chase them for a while.
