Overall, our stay was nice; however, I did not have hot water on the first morning when I went to take my shower. Thankfully, our room had water the next morning. That is why I’m giving this stay an overall rating of 3 stars.

Great experience and location. Savage parking expe

Parking was absolutely savage on Saturday night. Had to park at the very bottom of the basement garage in a unmarked spot. Wasn't sure if my car would get towed so woke up early to move it. Beds were pleasantly comfortable and tv was good. The quality of soap, lotion, shampoo, and conditioner was great! (At least for guy standards) Breakfast was surprisingly very delicious. Egg white omelettes were fantastic! Would return and recommend. Only complaint is the parking availability on the weekends. Especially since you have to pay. I believe it was $35/day (2025 april)

Didn’t like the walk thru the parking garage to get to the other side of the property to get to the bar/restaurant… ordered a bottle of champagne to my room and never received it. Power outlets were outdated and required the box for my charger not just the cord! Tv did not have streaming services only basic spectrum tv
