Amazing staff and service, and very clean, however, very loud on weekends with nightclub below and partiers in the halls at all hours. Would stay again if I was there mid week as it’s a very convenient location and I love the valet parking but I wouldn’t consider it for a Fri or Sat night.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff was very professional, helpful, and friendly! Room was clean and has modern decor. Location is excellent for getting around the area on foot or public transportation. If you have a car, the hotel has valet parking but it is very busy out front and can be difficult to drop off and pick up your car. We opted for a public parking location less than a 5 minute walk away and that worked great.
