The staff was great and provided exceptional customer service. The rooms could use additional detail in cleaning the walls, which had visible dirt, and under the bed, it seemed that they didn't vacuum underneath. Aside from that the it was a pleasant stay.

This hotel is not a 4.5 star hotel by any means. The mattress was very old and springy. Shower pressure was weak. Coffee cups were dirty and stained. Didn’t have spoons or mixing sticks. Chair had a lot of debris and crumbs on it. Closet door handles were sticky and dirty. The room door had a pretty large gap between it and the floor. You could hear everything in the hallway, especially the rattling or the pipes and elevator doors. Constantly woke up by it and the large clank and hiss when the heat would turn off. You’re better off staying a Hilton garden inn or similar.

The hotel was clean and the staff was attentive. The negative was the valet parking which was very expensive and there was an additional charge to take the car in and out. We also were not able to take advantage of the breakfast every more because the restaurant did not honor hotel guests unless you sat at the counter. Tables were reserved for the restaurant guests!! I mentioned this to the hotel and they said that the manager would get in touch with me. We were there for four days and heard nothing. We were expecting a credit because we had to eat off premises.

I was very disappointed with this hotel. For the price we paid I had much higher expectations. I arranged through the hotel to be picked up from the airport. They forgot about us and didn’t show up for an hour yet we were still charged full price by the cab company. I’m not sure if the hotel or the cab company was at fault because neither took ownership. The hotel attendant did give us a room upgrade and that is the only reason I’m giving this hotel two stars. The staff was very nice. As far as the hotel goes, it’s outdated the room was not that clean. The full wall of windows made it very drafty. I guess the windows need to be sealed. The walls have scratches and scuffs on it and the carpet was really gross and dingy. They give you a $25 breakfast voucher for one person per day and the food at the restaurant below the hotel was not that great and super expensive. You have to pay the extra taxes and tip so the meal is not exactly free. Again I’m only giving this hotel two stars because the hotel staff was very nice and friendly. I would not recommend this hotel or stay there again.
