Not impressed- wouldn’t stay again

This hotel was a more reasonable price, but we had a room that overlooked the neighboring buildings roof and it was just kinda dismal. The rooms are dark with harsh overhead lighting and aliding bathroom doors (which are awful and provide zero privacy). The roof top bar was closed which wasn’t expressed upon check in. Parking was on the “cheaper” end at $58, but ouch!

While the hotel itself is clean and the staff is friendly, the walls are extremely thin and the surrounding area has a night club that is extremely loud until roughly 3am. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a quiet spot

The noise factor was terrible! It would have been appreciated if someone had warned about the noise level and perhaps provide earplugs in the room. I specifically asked if i was located near the elevator and was told no. My room was right next to the elevator.
