Hotel location to restaurants and Art Museum a plus. Checkin and concierge staff accommodating and friendly. Was disappointed in cleanliness of room. Dust in very noticeable places. Dust is a concern for us due to health issues. We dealt with it as it was only a one night stay. Also disappointed in mechanical upkeep of room i.e. toilet paper holder not totally secured to wall. Parking garage a plus as it’s right next to hotel entrance and the valet service staff was friendly. Hotel room keycard also serves as elevator floor security. Had we stayed longer than one night we would have requested that issues stated be addressed. Overall the friendly helpful and accommodating staff made up for any shortcomings.

We’ve stayed at this hotel several times but this visit was a bit disappointing. There was no room service available and no cleaning during our stay although additional towels could be requested is desired. I’d expect a bit more for the price.

Property was fine. Rooms were big enough and I liked the couch and high floor. Beds were very comfortable. The bathtub was a little scratched up and the conditioner dispenser was full but clogged. Mostly it just didnt have a lot of character or warmth
