The appearance of the hotel and room was nice. However, only being able to swipe your key to your own floor and not the other floor was super inconvenient especially when you’re with a group. Also, trying to access the rooftop restaurant was more difficult and inconvenient than it needed to be. It seemed more easily accessible to non-guests.

Parking was incredibly expensive- you paid for the convenience. Rooftop bar was unique. The room left more for the imagination but was decent enough. Front desk team was mostly friendly- one encounter was less than satisfactory when asking for a water "after hours." She was there the next morning and had the same "over it" attitude.
