Disliked: Amenities
While the staff was friendly, the hotel itself felt like it didn't want the guests to stay too long. The buildings have stairs with no ramp, the elevators are too small for luggage, and most room necessities must be texted and asked for. When I reached out I got help, but it felt like the staff was limited by management.

The staff was great and accommodating. The room was clean and nice. Parking is a little tough, and I wouldn’t bring a pickup or large SUV. There’s really nothing that can be done differently for parking. The city is tight for space downtown.

Parking is a bit of a pain, but having to ask for a microwave, rather than having one already in the room, was really irritating.

The actual property was really nice and clean but unfortunately we won’t be coming back. The club next door was so loud that not only could we hear it, we could feel it. The vibrations from the base shook our room and made it very hard to get any rest. There were people outside throughout the night and very early deliveries. We could hear everything. Was not restful at all and I had to drive 10+ hours the next day.

I called the front desk and was advised they "were aware of a room in the general area" of this room that "had power issues" but "somebody was supposed to be looking into it" and obviously "fell short." If somebody had come to fix the refrigerator as we were advised they would at 6 am this morning, they would have seen the room had NO OUTLETS that worked, a pool of water in the refrigerator and found that the light that's plugged into the wall doesn't even work! Troubleshooting 101 The offer to move rooms at 11:15pm was a complete inconvenience that was out of the question! My 80-year-old mother was already asleep after a long day of being at the hospital since 6:30 am. I expect NOTHING LESS than a full refund on this! I need a phone call.
