Liked: Staff & service
I found the accomodations adequate ... it met my need for a one night stay. Thought the shower tile floor could be cleaner. And, at 4:00 AM their was a mechanical noise that would last about 15 seconds and repeat ever two or three minutes. Sounded like a water value.

While the room and staff were wonderful, I wish I would have known the hotel was under construction. Pool and hot tub were closed. That would have been a game changer. How bout a set of pillows? Helen

It seemed a little silly to have to pay for parking when there were hardly any cars in the garage and there was ample free street parking. Otherwise, the stay was great—the room and beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and modern.

Gave us the wrong room (we paid for a balcony but were put into a groub floor room with no outdoor space, overlooking an ugly empty pool) and we needed to be moved, but they did it without much fuss

Staff was nice and all updated areas were beautiful. The older areas are in dire need of updates still. Especially the elevator. We went up and the door stayed open for half the trip up. Not a fun feeling! The hot tub was not available which was a bummer. Breakfast was actually pretty good too.
