If you don’t care about safety, this is the place to stay. I had someone pounding on my door at 3:15am, 3:30am and again at 5am. It was the same individual each time. I called security all 3 times and clearly it was handled poorly. Spoke to the hotel manager the next day and he had no compassion or concerns about my situation. All he said was “sorry this happened”. One of the guest elevators was unavailable. Water pressure in the shower wasn’t consistent and found spiders along the ledge of the window. Highly disappointed with this hotel and how my situation was handled. Will not be returning to this hotel.

Overall it was a good stay for a long weekend. We didn't get to try any of the restaurants unfortunately but my son used the gym and he said it was great for a hotel gym. The bathroom was a little dated/tile mildew,. Everything else was great.

The main lobby and restaurants were very nice. The room was average but clean and comfortable. Bathroom needs an upgrade as it had a dripping shower and cracks in the tub. But the shower worked and it was nice and hot. The lobby and room were quite cold, but we saw workers on the roof so likely they were working on the hvac system. Every single staff member we encountered was so friendly. Food at both ArtBar and Monteverdi were excellent, and our server Paolina at Monteverdi was exceptional. We will stay there again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

My experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. The air conditioning in our room wasn’t working, and despite repeatedly asking the front desk for help, we were falsely assured that it had been fixed. Not only was the issue never resolved, but the staff continued to mislead us and refused to move us to another room. The room itself was very small, with a cramped bathroom and doors that didn’t close properly. Overall, it was an uncomfortable and frustrating stay. I would not recommend this hotel.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities

This was a terrible overnight stay. The parking spots in the garage are tiny and barely fit my small SUV. The rooms are pretty small and outdated and the bathrooms are tiny. It looks like they only pour money into the lobby. That night we got back late after an event to find our room was about 80 degrees even with the AC set to 67. We went down to the front desk and the guy at the desk was condescending and dismissive and looked annoyed at the noisy people from a wedding that was taking place. But said someone would come up to look at it. A service person was also at the desk, lied to us that the AC has sensors in the doors and turns off when you aren't in the room. No one ever came to look at it so the two of us (one of us is pregnant) and the service dog sweat and barely slept all night in the stuffy, hot room.

The room facility was poor (very weak shower, slow how water, strange electrical wiring). Worse was that they charged a destination fee (and several taxes on that fee) on top of all the legitimate taxes. Not sure what the destination fee was.
