8/10 Good

The property was easy to get to on a quiet street, excep valet parking @$40/day was limiting The area parking lots were competitive @ $37. We finally found street parking # ,,$2/hr.
Tania, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice property but pool is closed and construction going on. Alarm went off and we all had to evacuate.
Peggy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff were kind and helpful
Angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This property has a great location with a friendly front desk staff. The bed was very comfortable and our corner room was quiet. With renovations ongoing at the property expect construction noise between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Additionally, check-in at 4 p.m. was exceptionally slow due to only 1 person initially working. Waits for the elevators can be long as not all are currently in working order.
Leslie, 1-night trip

Kierstan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent stay. My only complaint is I had to wait until they found someone to check me in. No one was at the front desk. Two people finally came by but did not have a login to the computer??? It took 20 minutes before they found someone to check me in.
Amelia, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Room not available at check in time due to short staffed housekeeping. Pool no longer in service.
