Great stay!!
I would recommend this hotel. It was a bit more $$ than others but I feel it was worth it. We arrived in the morning well before check in and our room was ready! It was so nice after having a super early morning flight to arrive to a clean room on a high floor with a great view. Shout to Adonis for a smooth check in process!! Room was large, updated and well appointed. A nice touch is they provide you with two mini bottles of water and a cozy bathrobe. Waterfall shower head has great water pressure. The entire staff were so accommodating and made some great recommendations on places to eat. Tiffany was our girl!! Took care of us and we appreciate her and all the night staff. There are a few restaurants within walking distance and a great place to grab a beer at “State of Beer”. We were in town for Galaxycon and we had hoped to get a hotel closer to the Convention Center but it is only a 16-17 minute walk and the area is very safe. The only things I would point out are: 1. Train tracks right near hotel and train went by at 3:00 am blaring the horn 2. There is a fun bar right next door with outdoor seating. It gets very loud at night. We were lucky our room faced the other side of the hotel but we did hear other guest complaining about the noise. The hotel did provide ear plugs which was nice. 3. No swimming pool. I guess I should have checked that when I made the reservation. Nowadays I just assume a hotel at this

We were in the second floor and the noise from the street kept us up until 3 am. Mostly loud motorcycles and cars. Completely out of the control of the hotel, but stay on the highest floor if possible. The property is very nice, upscale, and clean.

Expensive, but far from luxury
The property is cramped. No room to leave the car while checking in. Signs out front indicate all street parking is for Uber/Lyft. It feels like the building was designed and built in a rush with lower materials and quality control. Bathroom sink had low water pressure. Bathroom door would not close. Toilet ran constantly until you get out of bed and jiggle button. Windows are thin and road noise is disturbing. Sprinkler/smoke detector strobe light is right above bed and flickers randomly all night. Parking deck is weird and has random plastic humps everywhere that you will trip on. Mattress was mediocre at best. For this price tag I would expect much better.

I liked having several restaurants within walking distance. Also we could walk to the convention center. We weren’t there to shop so I don’t know what that would be like. The beds were comfortable and the staff was super nice and helpful. One thing I would have preferred a bathroom door that locked and blocked light.
