Great location & staff, just cool the rooms!

The staff were amazing, food quality was excellent in hotel restaurant. The only issue was that the room was very hot (76 degrees) and we could not adjust the temp ourselves. Although the hotel staff was responsive when we called the front desk, it took several hours for the room to cool down. I wish the room would have been 68 upon arrival.

Small rooms. The shower wasn’t cleaned properly. Room 522. Had blood spots on the wall in front of the toilet. At 7:45 am the smell of marijuana came through the air conditioning vent, so strong we were worried about it making our clothes and luggage stink. Check in area was tiny, we had to drive around the block several times and eventually park in a parking garage instead of using valet parking. Very close to the train tracks, but I wasn’t bothered by that.

Reserved a room with hot tub and living room, day of booking my room was changed with no hot tub no seperate living area and only got a 3 dollar discount. The only reason i booked the room there was the hot tub for mothers day. The room was clean, I did not like the parking deck being a block away and my fridge had no adjustment and wasn't very cold. Other than those things it is a beautiful property.
