Loud and near music venues

If you want to be close to the music scene, this hotel is for you. I came for a business trip. I am in my forties and I think the decor and amenities are more suited for people under thirty. The carpet in the rooms felt musty and I think they should have it updated. On the weekends or when they have special events, it is loud through the evenings. Staff was friendly including valet. There is a coffee shop in the lobby which was convenient.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL VIA EXPEDIA. - call the hotel. The EXPEDIA listing is full of fraud! Rate included FREE parking and breakfast - Front Desk could not find either on my booking. (They comp'd my breakfast, but I am out $69 for parking!) Cannot find any way to let EXPEDIA know my troubles....The email confirmation is a no-reply....the chatbot is useless....the FAQ's don't have any contact info or links to customer service. My husband agreed never use EXPEDIA / BOOKING / ETC...any of them.... Hassle and fake rates!

One night family getaway.

We enjoyed our short stay here. Hotel service was excellent and conveniently located to downtown. We took a short walk to 6th street to enjoy sights and food. Area seemed secure overall and parking, although a bit pricey IMO, seemed safe. Our room was clean and had a great city view. A bit noisy at night if you’re a light sleeper but bed was comfortable. The shower was magnificent and refreshing. We do wish the room had an iron instead of a hand held steamer but does not keep us from wanting to return.

Having booked and paid for room and breakfast for 3 nights I was astonished to be told that only included breakfast for 1 night. Staff were insistent that was the rule. Exercise care you don’t think you are paying for something you aren’t actually getting. Never experienced this at any other hotel before.
