Location was great. The fridge in the room did not work at all, there was a dirty laundry bin in front of our door for 3 days. Ordered food one night and it was awful and very very expensive

Beautiful brand new hotel near a lot of clothing stores. The rooms were futuristic with an IPad to control everything. Although pretty small it worked out good for me and my girlfriend. I would have rated everything 5 stars if the breakfast wasn’t $20 a person and if college kids didn’t fill up the lobby everyday to study.
