I don’t like to additional fees charge after I /Check in/book, I”d like one price that covers the stay once I pay, I understand the security deposit but all the other fees seemed a little excessive. Great place, I will stay again and plan a little better with budget/transportation. Pool was down for multiple days. Conveniently located for sure!!!!! Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!

The location is great, within walking distance of many restaurants and sightseeing. The rooms were very spacious and clean. The amenities were fantastic. We took advantage of the pool, hot tub, gym, yoga classes, and happy hour on the roof. The valet for parking is convenient when you need it, but there are many cheaper options nearby, including meters.

A beautiful place to stay. Everyone was polite and a pleasure to work with. It is valet only for onsite parking. With all the construction near by, pulling up to valet can be dicey.

We stayed 4 nights and had 2 rooms. I would have given 5stars except we had some personal items missing from our room. We had brought it the front desk’s attention and were told manager will contact us the next day. Unfortunately they had never followed up with us.
