Hotel was lovely, rooms really spacious. Staff were fantastic in all departments. But…. It’s crazy busy weekends, we checked in early and didn’t get our room until 1 hr after check in time. We were comped for the delay, but with 2 young sleeping kids, it wasn’t what we needed. But hands down, I’d stay again, but now know what to expect.

Pro: 5-minute walk to Kaseya Center. Cons: Terrible parking, service, check-in/out, and inadequate room service for a claimed 4.5-star property. Overall a foul experience. Details: Upon arrival, the valet supervisor was unhelpful about parking, forcing us to circle the block multiple times. Valet was mandatory at $75/day (not on Expedia), despite public parking being available nearby. I had to stop in the street, unload my bags, and carry them up myself. The room wasn't ready. Pre-check-in via the Elser app (including scanning my ID and credit card) was useless, as the desk clerk repeated the process, raising data security concerns. Room service (sheets/towels) was denied the next morning, as it's only offered every other day. They eventually provided fresh linens, but took the pillowcases and comforter without replacement, requiring another trip to the manager. Service was below 2- and 3-star standards. The in-app valet message for car retrieval was ignored. I had to manually carry my bags out. Valet Supervisor "Arturo" refused to get the car, claiming the valet service is "not part of the hotel" and ignoring me for nearly an hour, despite his Elser uniform. A manager finally resolved it after I nearly called 911 to report theft. The experience was a profound embarrassment for a 646-room property. Significant upper management replacement and a complete overhaul of the customer experience are needed. I still do not have a copy of my final bill.

This was a great hotel! Modern, central to everything we wanted to do, near the cruise port with a shuttle that dropped you off. We loved our room and our view! This is a great place to stay for families and it’s dog friendly! My only complaint is that some of the staff seemed like they were too good to speak and they weren’t welcoming at all. Regardless of their attitudes, we loved this hotel and will absolutely be back!

Took 2 hrs 30 min to get linens for the sofa bed & a 3rd towel for the third guest which should have been in the room at check in despite multiple texts and a phone call requesting them ( finally got them at 1:15 am ), asked to be placed in a quiet area of the hotel and was placed near the elevator which had a ding so loud it woke up all 3 of us about 10 times per morning, bathroom sink was nearly clogged and hard to brush one’s teeth or shave due to the slow drainage, and water was slow to heat up for showers. Nice gym but it didn’t make up for the terrible service, poorly maintained room and super loud elevator bell ( there’s no purpose for an elevator bell that loud and no excuse for not decreasing the volume )
