"The hotel looked impressive, and the staff was friendly and informed. However, the coffee maker didn't work properly. Don't open the water bottles by the coffee maker; you'll be charged $5 each. We couldn't figure out how to turn on the light over the table.2020-12-30"

"A wonderful experience. Walk to the football stadium and close to everything. The hotel was nice and clean, and the staff was hospitable. Be sure to pull up in front to unload, otherwise you'll have to haul your luggage from the garage. Nothing at this hotel was free except in-room coffee and ice.

"In trying to be trendy, this hotel missed the boat in comfort. The room was small and felt like a dorm room. The clock looked like a block of wood, and I couldn't figure out how to get the time to display. Even the lights weren't easy to operate. The hardwood floors didn't feel good on my tired feet, and the table looked like a picnic table and had uncomfortable chairs. There was a bench next to the table for some reason. If you like expensive and trendy without comfort, this is the place for you.2017-08-02"

Incredible fitness center; it looked more like an athletic club than a hotel exercise room. Not a resort destination, but I was not disappointed and would stay again.2015-06-04"
"The hotel room was very nice, but it didn't have a coffee pot, and the refrigerator was full. I didn't like that. Had to call for ice many times to keep the champagne cold, and they'd only bring a small bag of it at a time. The down pillows were awful; I prefer foam.2015-04-19"

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
