Friendly staff, no problems with the stay. free upgrade for the room to one with pool access. it was out of season and c
Pros:

right downtown and close to the venue for a concert we were going to. good price for the purpose we needed.

Cons:

the location was convenient but had drawbacks, parking was through valet which i didnt quite like but understand its nessicary. they did charge for parking as well which i wasnt entirely a fan of because i was already paying for a room but hard to escape that kind of thing when you're right downtown like that.

Fantastic trip
Pros:

This Hotel is very nice and the staff very friendly and service top level. I arrived late at night and the it was smooth check in and the rooms were very nice spacious and clean. The noise level was ok , only when people talking in the hall way. Value for money since its down top near most things are in walking distance. Very good atmosphere at the bar in hotel , very good service too.

Forgot a unique charging cable, called a day later and it was not found.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

It advertises a rooftop pool, but no access or water in it. We had plans. If rooftop pool will not available at certain times make clear.

Great place to stay - central location, clean, and friendly staff.
Pros:

Great location!

Cons:

Doors need a lot of force to close, so slamming of other people entering and leaving rooms was quite loud.
