Our hotel accommodations were fine. However, we used the onsite valet service to park our vehicle which subsequently sustained damage while in their control. The valet service, PMC, is denying all responsibility. The hotel manager is has not followed through on commitments to contact us on this matter. If you require parking a vehicle, I highly recommend choosing a hotel that does not have PMC valet service. Since this incident occurred we have seen many other patrons sharing similar stories of damage to vehicles with no responsibility being taken by PMC.

Great location, the shuttle to and from Broadway was amazingly convenient. Only issue we had (for a brand new hotel) is that there was one elevator basically permanently down, and a guest broke the other one so we had to take stairs for a couple hours until it was fixed, but that was just for a few hours (and I only had to climb once)

The first day was so great that I prepaid made reservations for a future visit. However, the following morning after taking a morning walk and attempting to have breakfast, I was approached by employee Silvia. She first stood and watched me serve myself until I noticed her. She questioned my legitimacy of being there. Some of the same guests that I came down on the elevator with were still present and highly doubt they were confronted. Mind you, as I walked through the lobby I exchanged pleasantries with an employee cleaning and noticed an employee at the front desk. Silvia claimed that it's her job to profile people to be sure they belonged. She didn't accept that I was a guest until I pulled out my room card. Then she walked off with a smirk on her face. I later approached the her at the front desk and inquired about being profiled. Her response again was, " it's my job and that someone had come in last week from the hospital. I responded, " last week had nothing to do we me and that not only did she profiled, but stereotyped me as well. Again, claiming it's her job. I've stayed at many IHG hotels and had never experienced such obvious bias treatment. Had I not prepaid for a future reservation, I highly doubt that I would have after my experience with Silvia.

Very nice facility and staff. Location was OK. Not much in immediate vicinity, but shuttle to Broadway was appreciated. Valet parking system was super clunky, inefficient. At one point the staff/system basically lost our vehicle. The long wait to retrieve it was frustrating.
