Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was nice. The Concierge was wonderful. She didn't have the room that I booked, so right off the bat she gave me a free upgrade, which was greatly appreciated. I loved the bathtub. It wasn't a jacuzzi tub, but it wasn't the small, standard size tub that many tooms have. It was actually a deep tub and much more accommodating for am adult! The room had a separate living room and bedroom, with actual locking doors in between, which was ideal. A fill sized, walk in closet and full size, floor to nearly ceiling, length mirror. The room had not one, but 2 doors to exit out of and the bedroom had a king size bed, desk and chair, as well as bedroom furniture. There was a flat screen TV in both the living room and bedroom. I was very happy. Strangly though, there aren't isn't a vending machine anywhere within the hotel to be able to get a small or drink after hours. Valet parking is outrageous, but it's convenient! I'll definitely stay there again!

Rooms are clean, simply decorated, decently sized. You will hear room-adjacent plumbing. Guest fees are high ($99 for 6 bottles of water … didn’t use drink coupons or bfast). Staff clearly just tolerate jobs. I was “nodded” to just leave room key at desk in am vs a formal checkout. Great location. Valet efficient.
