A lil mix up in the room I was put in, so we got asked a few times if we were in the room legitimately. Other than that, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean!!!

Not very good.

Only one of four elevators worked so we always had a long wait. The didnt have enough handicap parking. We had mold in the shower and wires hanging under the airconditioner. We found pills on the floor.

I stayed at this hotel for my college graduation, and the experience was nothing short of disappointing. The first room I checked into had multiple bugs everywhere—even on the towels. I showed the front desk footage of the issue, and they moved me one room over. When we inspected the new room, there was a live bird and a nest inside the AC unit, which I also captured on video. I contacted Expedia, but they did nothing to help. Since it was graduation weekend and there was only one day left, I requested another room with a late checkout at 1 PM. That room was fine, but the next morning at 11 AM, I got a call demanding that I leave—even though I was granted a late checkout. This hotel was far from clean, accommodating, or welcoming. I deserved better, especially on such an important weekend. I would not recommend staying here if you expect basic cleanliness and respect for your reservations.

The staff was amazing! But I was charged an incidental fee twice due to an error by the front desk clerk and on my last day, the elevator broke and I had to walk up and down 12 flights with my luggage. Also the hours for the restaurant/ bar are very limited. Other than that, it was an alright place to stay. Not far from downtown.

The property is confusing in that most of the parking is away from the main entrance which is on a second story level accessed by a driveway ramp but there are no signs directing you to the entrance.

We were put in the 8th floor without elevator. People screaming and arguing in the hall half the night and the parking was very inconvenient because you had to walk up slates to get to the entrance. This should be made known when booking

I had a reservation however never actually got to stay there. I was called only hours before my intended check in time and told their elevator wasn't working and that they would be cancelling my reservation. I get that things like that are unpredictable however I was simply given the names of two other hotels that were more expensive and completely booked. I felt like more should have been done on their end including actually making arrangements for me rather than just leaving me to fend for myself hours before my arrival.
