this hotel has gone downhill since 2021 when our friends had their wedding there. the pool had an overwhelming smell of chlorine with zero ventilation, and visible mold growing all over the ceiling, walls, etc. our room was literally next to the elevator shaft so we heard the elevators moving up and down the entire night. the only good thing they have going is the view. obnoxious rap music blasting in the lobby. zero christmas decorations. so many better hotels to stay at downtown this one is not it.

The room was an average size, but the bathroom drain was clogged. Once I reported it to the management they immediately offered a different room.

I did not enjoy my stay. I had to switch rooms because our room had small insects all over it, but they could not determine what it was. Also, we requested clean towels and received a towel with a dirty bandage that was used from a previous.
