"The valet parking was immensely helpful, and the shuttle service was a real perk. Security was lax, though; a group of young non-guests snuck into the pool and were rowdy. I wasn't comfortable and left the pool area. The meals were overpriced. Find another hotel.2017-11-25"

"The hotel room was well-maintained and had modern furniture and bathroom fixtures. No information in the room about local attractions, though. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was complimentary, but it wasn't fit for vegans or vegetarians. Don't judge this place by the exterior.2019-08-12"

"We were put on the concierge floor, but never told about the amenities. The TV remote control didn't work, and the toilet was stopped up. Both were taken care of by management. The pillows were way too big. The next day, the AC leaked all over the floor and we had to move to the 16th floor. No one helped us with our move, and we're in our 80s. The hotel manager was nice and gave us a discount, but I'm not sure we'd stay again.2015-05-11"
"Clean, comfortable room. Plenty of hot water for showers, and terrific water pressure. Check-in was smooth. Good on-site restaurant with great staff. Although the price was a bit much, the amenities made it worthwhile. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly return.2015-04-30"

"My stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. The room smelled bad. The walls were dirty, there were stains on the ceiling, and the bedsheets didn't look clean. Had to pay for guaranteed valet parking in the garage across the street, but I found my car parked illegally near the valet area instead of in the garage. I expected better for the price.2016-01-04"
