The hotel lobby and facilities were beautiful. However, our room was in poor condition. It had a flood damage in the bathroom, dirt and grim on the walls, uncomfortable bed. Our air conditioner didn't work and had to call maintinence. They said it was fixed but it wasn't. We called again the next day and they wanted us to switch rooms and switch back once it was fixed. Not relaxing or worry free.

The price was fair. Lack of coffee pot in room. Toilet distance from wall almost made impossible to sit down. No fan in bathroom. Room felt humid. Furniture seemed old, ie., damaged. All that aside the staff was excellent, rooftop fun and location very nice.

I liked the doormen. They told me upfront that I could not park or valet my pickup truck because it was too big. They should have told us this on the website so customers know in advance. So I had to drive 3 blocks away and park the vehicle. A female driving alone may not be comfortable walking done dark streets and parking garage late at night to get back to the hotel There is also no food available at the hotel, again, they should tell customers this on the website.

Listen to the other reviews from real people who have stayed at this property. The rooms are in dire need of complete renovation. They’re dark and gross and broken down.

The rooms are in terrible condition and should be upgraded immediately. They’re pretty gross. Several things in the room were broken. I feel bad for the staff at reception listening to people complain all day about the poor condition of the rooms when there is nothing they can do about it. I wouldn’t stay at this property again.

This hotel and my room looks like it needs lots of updating. I had chipped paint on the bathroom doors. I had to move to another room because the first one had an unpleasant odor, no hot water in shower, and furniture looked very worn.
