Mandatory Valet parking that is not mentioned. 200.00 hold for incidentals seems excessive. Hotel rooms are in need of repairs. Stains on walls. Bathroom floor was dirty and sticky. Never any towels in pool area. Valet was very friendly. Front desk staff were only "ok". Beds were comfy. Missed having a microwave. Amazing walking distance to Fiserv. Overall though, quite overpriced for such a basic hotel. As mentioned in other reviews if youre in the 2nd floor it is quite loud. You feel like you're sitting in the middle of the road with all of the outside noise.

There was NO hot water in our room (2053). We were told we needed to run it a while because we were on the end of the building. Ran it continuously for 3-4 minutes without success. Later, we tried, and it was medium warm, not hot. But if we turned it off and tried again in literally 30 seconds, it was completely cold again. This happened several times during out stay. Would not recommend staying there.

Love this location and everything about the hotel. For the first time, though, I noticed that things are starting to show wear, as there were issues with the shower door closing properly, and you could see basic wear around the room.
