We liked the rooms, very clean and updated style. Beds were comfy too. Breakfast was delicious. The pool temperature for swimming was wonderful. I've had issues at other pools, this one was a nice big pool and not freezing cold.

It was a wonderful high tech hotel. My only negative was having a room directly accross from the pool and hot tub. It was a bit loud and it echoed. Also if you dont want cats say dog friendly i stead of pet friendly. I was allowed to stay but it was disconcerting.

Everything was great but when we put the door hanger on for Maid service and they were right down the hall from our room no one came in all day. I asked the front desk and was told they were understaffed.

Hotel is in a very nice part of town. Breakfast was ok. Slow service to keep food out on the breakfast line. Pool room was very hot and humid and could only stand to be in there for no more than 20 minutes. Elevator was slow. Room was nice.
