The hotel was very accommodating & not pricey at all! We loved the availability and the views. The hotel setup was gorgeous. Super comfortable bed! The whole suite was extremely clean! They also offer two free drinks per visitor! We didn’t use due to scheduling issues on our own part, but such a nice gesture. The valley parking was a huge bonus! Staff was extremely friendly!

Definitely would not stay again

Overall the hotel was nice, good location, comfortable bed. However, I could not actually enjoy said bed due to the excessive hallway noise. Partly just due to the location of my room. I was at the end of the hall directly next to the exit door from the hotel. Everytime this door was used, it slammed shut and this was very audible in my room. Unrelated to just an unlucky room location was housekeeping pounding on all the doors at a very early hour. My room had no do no disturb sign available, so I’m wondering if other rooms had this issue which led to the incessant ‘knock knock housekeeping’. I had to wait to shower until I had the unfortunate knock at my door because I didn’t want to be in the shower and have themselves help themselves into the room. Overall a very disappointing and unrestful stay. Two other hotels (aloft and a best western) in this exact location would be what I would lean towards next trip back.
