"Valley staff was great. Front desk very helpful upon check-in. Overnight parking price outrageous but I think that’s everywhere in that area. Overall great stay. "
"Great location with a lot of dining options and just a five-minute walk from Pier Six Pavillion. Safe area. Check-in took less than 30 seconds. The two men at the valet station were true professionals. I can't believe how quickly our car came this morning.
Room was clean, bed and pillows were great, view was wonderful, and the shower was really nice.
If we had one quibble -- and we've seen this a couple of other places, too, and it mystifies us as to what architectural teams think this is a good idea -- but having no door at all between the room and the sink is really off-putting. Even if someone is just brushing teeth or putting on makeup, we almost all like a little privacy at the bathroom sink.
Anyway, we'd def stay there again. Prime hotel in a great location with great staff."
"The only thing that I had issue was that from 9 o’clock in the evening until 2 o’clock in the morning, I had noise coming from the street that kept me up"
