Great stay….. we arrived super early and the staff were gracious enough to afford us an early check in that we needed due to a long delayed overnight flight. Hotel was very well staffed and a comforting atmosphere in the lounge area- fireplace, bar, pool table. Would definitely recommend- location is fantastic!

The hotel seems to have many college students that are there as a substitute for dorm rooms. Many late night parties, loud with doors slamming etc. The room was fine but the bathroom faucet had low pressure and tge hot water was acalding.

I felt for the price the room was average I have stayed in better hotels for half the price. I got a city view but it was blocked by a building so I was really staring at one building and I did pay extra for that room to get that experience. When I booked it said I was getting a stand up shower I prefer and I would pay extra for it and got a regular tub. The AC seemed to barely work. Staff were pretty friendly. I did like that it was pretty close to everything I needed within walking distance. It was not a terrible hotel I just don’t think it was worth the price.

My son's sheets had blood on them. The front desk told me I could change them myself if I wanted, but he'd have to keep the same pillowcases and blanket. I had to put my foot down and they moved us to another room. Ridiculous.
