The hotel was in a great location. Easily accessible to multiple places. The staff were helpful and pleasant. The hotel was clean. The only downside was the parking. The construction crew took up a lot of parking spaces. I would definitely recommend and visit again.

Great location and walkable to many restaurants and bars. Most Uber/Lyft rides to most other areas were only 7-12 minutes. The renovations had an effect on quality of sleep in the morning. We heard some clanking and voices every day around 8am. When you’re on vacation you want to sleep in typically. The cable went out also due to rewiring. The bar and restaurant are also closed. But the staff was very nice at least.

I had booked a 1 Room with 1 King Size Bed, Balcony standard room but was given a room with 2 Full Beds and no balcony. Very annoyed & confused why the Male Staff member who helped me check in gave me the wrong room.
