There's only VALET parking for $38 a night. If you're lucky you get to stop in front of the hotel, otherwise they tell you to go and park on level 6 at the garage nearby and then walk to the hotel and anyway you are paying 38 dollars for this! Unbelievable! Breakfast is not great and the staff in the kitchen is not very friendly.

Nice place, nice location. Make sure you use the valet parking. I pulled into the adjacent parking garage with the Hotel's name on it. On check in, the clerk asked if I wanted to use valet service. I told her I was in the garage already. She said nothing else. Driving to dinner 3 hours later, I had to pay $30 to get out. Speaking to the desk upon return, they said I should have used valet and since I already re-parked, I was subject to the city's parking garage rates. They don't own the garage. The next morning, $60 to get out. So....$90 to park for less than 24 hours! No help from the staff on this. Yikes.

I was really impressed. The hotel is clean and staff pleasant. The room was more of a minimalist style and functional. The only complaint I have is parking. The hotel only offers valet which is cool except I’m a person that likes to go when I’m ready and not wait for staff to locate my car. I chose the option to pay the fees at the parking garage. The daily rate states $30. When we first checked in, it was 3:30pm. We had to get ready for dinner reservations that were at 7:00 pm. We proceed to leave the parking deck at 6:30 pm. The fee was $24. Excuse me?!? Due to us rushing we paid it but I took a mental note. (In the future if you choose to use the deck park and Uber. Especially, if all your events are uptown.) We returned to the deck at 11/3/2024 @ 00:49. We proceeded to leave at 11/3/2024 @ 11:45. Why it says $78?!? Oh this time I had time so I spoke with the garage attendant who explained at 04:00 the time reset. Um…ok that still doesn’t add up. Thankfully after speaking to the attendant twice she made it right and validated the parking. If the staff has more than one valet person available then do the valet but if you choose the garage check your tickets.

Valet was a struggle. The two guys working it we’re doing the best they could but they need more people there on a Sunday checkout. People were waiting an hour to get their car. We ended up just getting our car ourselves.

No rooms available at check in time. People lined up out the door for hours after check in waiting on a room to be ready. Manager was unapologetic about the issues. Rooms were assigned to people that still had people in them. We waited over an hour in an overcrowded lobby for a room to be ready with the manager telling people that the concert didn't start until after check in time so it wasn't a big deal. I feel the hotel should issue a partial refund to all guests coming in that day due to not being able to be in their room as advertised so basically not getting what you paid for. There was only 1 working elevator so always a long wait for the elevator and the stairwell was locked so it wasn't an option to use the stairs. When we arrived we talked to someone who said it would be 30 minutes and an hour later found out that one lady was making a list of names based on when you got there and the one who we talked to wasn't so our name wasn't even on the list that they were giving rooms out by.
