Nice location. Clean and modern hotel. Paid parking in parking garage but they allowed me to park and charge at the ChargePoint charger outside the hotel. Charging is not free it is 25 cents /KWh. Our sofa bed would not come out and it took them an hour to send someone up but they compensated by providing another room. Overall good experience.

Stay was fine and property was clean. But the area is somewhat loud and we were there over the weekend. No complimentary breakfast or even coffee. Onsite parking is in a nearby parking garage and there’s a daily fee. They say you have in & out privileges but the bar code didn’t work consistently so we ended up paying extra. We were in a rush so weren’t able to discuss with hotel. Staff was ok but not terribly welcoming.

The only thing I didn't like about the room is that the AC was quite loud, made a vibration on the wall when on. The bathroom door also isn't made to close all the way so if rooming with friends, know this.
