Front desk staff was great, location is very convenient and walkable, the room was nice and clean. My only complaint was the shower water didn’t get very hot. I would stay here again.
Adam, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Our 2 nights were ok... The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean. I didn't like having to get on 2 different elevators just to go to my room or car. The toilet had problems flushing and the shower was so powerful it felt like needles hitting you and you couldn't change it. I thought $98 to park for 2 days was also outrageous!!
