Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Convenient location near downtown, and room was clean and comfortable enough for our two night stay. But, the price was way higher than it should have been for average/ 2 star quality. Negatives included flickering lights, noisy party / event with inadequate soundproofing for this hotel's busy downtown location. Granted, it didn't advertise as a 5 star hotel, but for close to $300/night I would have expected better.

There was an issue with a strange noise in our room during the stay but the staff was very polite and took care of it quickly for us by switching our room. I would recommend this hotel.

This place was beautiful and very clean. Easy check in and check out. I stayed for two days. The only issues I had was the refrigerator was not working but they were willing to immediately fix or switch it out for me. The refrigerator looked brand new, it just wouldn’t stay on long enough to get cold. It made a terribly loud noise every 5 minutes and would loudly stay on for about a minute or 2. I wish the shower had a hand held shower head because the shower was small and the high large shower head was beating on my head constantly even with shower cap, my hair got wet so I decided to just wash it and I had to open the door and step out to lather up because the giant shower head would not allow me to put shampoo in my hair, it kept beating water down on it. I needed to lather up and then rinse, that’s impossible when water is pounding down on you. Hard to lather up body too, it just keeps washing soap off immediately, no lathering whatsoever. Other than that I was happy! I would go again, but please get new shower heads. Hand helds are great and a must for disabled elderly people.
