Location was the only thing good Staff was rude except the door man & Malcom was very nice. We paid $40 on reservation extra for a high floor and they put us on the 3rd and charged $50! Per night extra. They said there wasn’t an early check in fee when I booked over the phone, but when we got there they wanted $100 cash for early check in! They really do not like tourist it seems!

China, the current manager, was absolutely the rudest manager at a hotel that I gave ever encountered. I couldn’t reach the valet the bring my car around for a flight that I needed to make. I asked for the manager at the front desk and requested that that try to reach them and have my car pulled around. This is what valet should do and a manager should be able to take care of this.

Erin, Jul 2020
Pros (+) The lobby area was nice and the bellman were very helpful and friendly.
Cons (-) The room was lacking basic items like bath towels, coffee cups. We were “upgraded” to a suite which had a queen spring with a twin mattress with the springs sticking out so we were unable to use this for our kids but still had to pay the upgrade price. Therefore the “upgrade” did not provide us with any additional sleeping space. The room door key did not work because they had to charge the lock. ...

Pros (+) Very nice hotel. Prices reflect hotels location. Service was excellent. Please note that during our stay that there was construction, both road and building, being done right in front of the hotel. That made it difficult traveling the one way streets to get to the hotels parking garage. Choose your dates carefully if you select this hotel.
