Over all great experience. We loved that the broad walk was walking distance. They have a microwave and refrigerator in our room which helped since we have 2 children. Parking was the only thing I didn’t like it’s Valet only

My Birthday was that Saturday!!!
The stay was great at the Hotel and good location. Except the rug in our room had a stain that was noticeable and the Iron was missing. I did contact room service people and went downstairs to let front desk know about the iron and the stain in the rug. We did get and iron and no service for that stain in the rug. Other than that everything was good.

Terrible check-in experience, Reached on time , when I waited on the queue with my family including 2 kids, and tried to check-in around 4:45PM, the front desk staff didn't greet me instead she directly said you have to wait for sometime in the lobby to check in ( no polite just ordered me ) , I waited for sometime but the people before me or after me they all got checked in w/o any problem, then I had to ask again and she finally able to check-in. Never faced this kind of experience anywhere else.
