It is an interesting hotel. We liked the retro look and feel. The service was just average. Our room wasn't cleaned after our first night. Our room keys didn't work after the first night.

Loved the rooms the retro design was great. We had a hard time trying to find a place to park to check in to our room since there were 4 huge buses parked in the loading zone. Disappointed that we had to pay for parking you would think that would be part of your staying at there hotel.

The parking garage elevator was terrible. It was 100° and the elevator was questionably operating. With the door barely opening. There was no fan or vent at all. It was very uncomfortable. And the price per vehicle for parking is ridiculous.

Won’t be able to sleep

Air conditioner was so loud it was nearly impossible to sleep. Parking garage was way over-priced considering how difficult it is to make the tight turns to go to another level. Motion light in bathroom shuts off in the middle of a shower. Won’t be back.
