I booked the hotel before seeing the reviews, all I could say is that the reviews are a little too dramatic, the only complaint I have is the water for showers, the cold is hot and the hot is cold, hopefully that makes sense lol, also the tv didn’t work that well, and parking was a bit difficult but we managed to find outside parking. But overall the rooms were clean, staff were nice, and if ur seeing the reviews after booking and are a little scared like I was, don’t worry, its actually a good hotel :)

The bed was a 3 star. The receptionist was friendly and efficient. The valet was very inefficient since there was only one valet attendant. The mandatory $55 fee is too much for this hotel.

The lady at the front desk was phenomenal. Someone complained about a smoking fee and she handled it with grace and professionalism. I wish I remembered her name. If she is not already, she should be management.
