Mediocre expensive room.
The room was clean and spacious. When the heat came on and turned off, the unit made a really loud noise. The bathroom amenities weren’t great. I didn’t feel it was worth the nightly room rate of $839.

What I found unique was the email sent to me from this establishment stated valet parking cost was one price plus tax and did not expect the tax to be so much. This hotel should be ashamed of how much tax they charge for parking.

I upgraded to a more expensive room and the walls are paper thin. Heard conversation from the room to our right, and from midnight to 3am heard the room to our left having “adult relations”. Not mad at the guest more so found it insane that the walls were so thin especially for an upgraded room. Also the heat would go on every 5 minutes and when the furnace kicked on there was a very loud bang.
