Great location but beware the hidden costs.
Pros:

Great location, valet parking is convenient but expensive. Very comfortable bed and quiet rooms. The staff on the front desk and breakfast restaurant.

Cons:

A $30 destination fee was added but unclear what it was for since the property is undergoing renovations.
$25 is outrageous for a light buffet breakfast. A 20% service charge was automatically charged on top of the $25.

Not great experience
Pros:

Good location, but the hotel is dated and in need of a major renovation. Carpets and common areas are noticeably worn.

Service was disappointing: check-in was slow, my room key didn’t work, and I had to return to reception to be assigned a different room. As a Platinum Bonvoy member, there was no recognition or benefits offered.

There were also children playing unsupervised in the gym with no staff intervention. Overall, not a great experience and below expectations.

Disappointed situations turning out good
Pros:

First let me say that your Employees by the name Roberto and Branden saved the day. With their kindness and very professional demeanor made my stay worth while. While I was disappointed with the last minute email of the construction that will be going on, both of your front desk Roberto and Brandon made sure I wasn't in the line of fire of the constant noise level. They are truly worth noting and changing a bad situation to being good. I wish the construction was done before the summer vacation months. Thanks again guys for your professionalism and being courteous.

Will go again!
Pros:

The location is top notch! So much to do in the area. You can just walk outside and enjoy multiple restaurants, a river walk and scenic views. The rooms are spacious and they were so clean. The staff really takes care of everything.
