The hotel was amazing and had great customer service. My only real complaint is the expensive parking fee and how narrow the exits to the structure are, I unfortunately scraped my car exiting the structure. Other than that, I would stay again!

The description of the amenities for the hotel included an onsite restaurant, a gym and a pool. These affected my decision to book this hotel over othersI was considering in the area, so imagine my surprise when NONE of these were available and "under construction.". While it's nice that these mean improvements to the hotel which will benefit future occupants, it did nothing for me. The free breakfast was a nice gesture, although it consisted of carb-heavy options such as fruit, bagels, juice boxes and yogurt. No hot food such as eggs or breakfast meats. Better than nothing, but worth noting if this is a consideration when comparing hotels. Reasonably clean overall, although the frame around my bed was a little dusty. Clean, comfortable room regardless. Plenty of great eating spots a few blocks from the hotel, although the immediate surrounding area outside the hotel near the expressway had homeless tents and seemed a bit desolate after dark. overall, not a bad experience and the staff was exceptional, but absent the features I mentioned, there might be better options until the construction is finished.
