Located in downtown so I felt safe for an overnight stay just passing through town on a road trip. The receptionist had issues with the credit card at first, he called for help which took a while. It was inconvenient for me after driving 10+ hours and checking in at 10:30pm, all I want is to shower and sleep. Parking garage in gated so it felt safe. Complimentary breakfast was decent.
Breakfast with the downtown view.

I thought the desk was helpful and able to problem solve for us when a door’s deadbolt was not functioning properly. What I did not like is that the bathroom walls were thin and we could hear the room’s next to us occupants while in there. Also, I did not like this new trend of expecting paying guests to pay $20/night additional for parking.

The off site parking was across a very busy street, which makes schlepping luggage an ordeal. The street noise was quite loud until 3:00 am. They did provide ear plugs.

Parking was inconvenient and expensive. Coming in from out of town it would have been nice to know about parking before I got there. It is new and some hiccups are expected. I was amazed that there was only one person working overnight. Our TV wouldn't work and we had to wait while he finished checking someone out before he could come up with the USB to fix it. He said he had fixed 35 that night. It is a beautiful hotel and I will stay again. It was within walking distance of so many places. Great location! lolocation!places.tie
