The rooms were nice and clean. But it just wasn’t something I was looking for. I wanted something higher end that wasn’t catered to mainly business people. It would be a good place to stay for someone who was traveling alone but it wasn’t ideal for a family stay.

The staff was great. It’s always nice to feel like you’re important. From the moment I walked into the hotel that’s how they made feel. We had dinner on the rooftop. And the service there was also great. The one downside though was the dessert’s. Great dinner but the dessert options were a little lacking.

Friday night is absolutely horrendous

The hotel was nice however the neighborhood where the hotel is not so great. It was loud till 2:30am, I mean loud music and people. I was told that the area is allowed to stay loud like that Friday evenings. After the music is out by 2:30am, people and motorcycles etc in the area were still making noise well into 3:30am. I was up till them, there was no way to fall back asleep. If you plan to stay here for Friday night (not sure about Saturday night because I only stayed one night), just remember this

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property appeared very new and updated, everything was very clean, staff was very helpful, they had their own parking, which was convenient, The shower was very nice and well designed, security was present, which made you feel safe, room, temperature, and air conditioning was great and very quiet. Would like to see complementary coffee in the lobby, which is more convenient than going to the seventh floor or taking time to make our own in the room. Also, we really liked having parking on site, but we were not aware there was an additional upper deck that was available by going around the other end of the hotel. Lower level was tight parking for a truck/suv.
