Good hotel, but charging an extra $30 for parking is ridiculous. Won’t stay there again.

Really a clean and quality hotel with increasibly friendly staff. The reason I gave it 3 stars are 1) parking is hard for easy transient parking (eg an hour) and 2) the market is really insane - $8 for a bottle of water or $6 for a soda. price gouging at its finest. there is no need for that and it is shameful.

Great Hotel and location!

We always stayed at this hotel when it was "The Sofi Hotel", but was a bit hesitant because of a couple of so-so reviews, but we decided to give it a try. We were greeted by friendly staff upon entering. We checked in an hour early- No problem as room was ready. The room was very clean and the linens were plentiful. Coffee maker worked great and coffee was good. We were so busy, that we didn't get to try the restaurant and bar, but we'll be back, so next time! The Coffee Shop had excellent coffee and almond croissants! Keep up the good work, it is noticed!

The property and lobby is beautiful and modern, however all the rooms are dated and need upgrading. The headboard of my room had some dried droplets of something on it and it was a little unnerving.

It was okay, but the rooms are antiquated and have poor lighting compared to the photos on the website. It's not a bad hotel, just not quite what is marketed. Bar tenders were great in the restaurant.
