There was only one person working the front desk and she was on a call, so I waited about 5 minutes before even being recognized. Once she put the customer on hold, she informed me that she did not have a reservation for me. I showed her my confirmation number and then she was able to find it. Once I was given my room keys, I went to my assigned room, opened the door and there were already people in that room. There were clothes, shoes and luggage in the room and the TV was on. Thank goodness I didn't see anyone or anything going on.

The room itself was great. But the area around the hotel is not the best and the dining options are limited so have to do Uber Eats because not safe to walk to other dining. Staff were cordial but not overly helpful. Valet was very expensive and not many options for parking. Better options downtown for the price.

the staff was wonderful and very welcoming. the bed was really nice, and i liked the natural lighting the rooms offered. however, for the price, and lack of self parking i found some od the accomodations to be lacking and outdated. for example, the tv was borderline retro. the lack of a mini fridge was a bit annoying. i understand this is to encourage using the restaurant in the hotel, but i wanted to come back to cold water after a night out lol. small annoyances for a relatively chill stay. i thought it was fun, but don't think we will be returning due to price and parking alone.

Valet parking was $45… only sit down and order breakfast option. Dirty bathroom with poor design. Beds were more like twins than queens.
