Pros:

The staff in the restaurant were so attentive. The food was so delicious and arrived very quickly. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

The parking garage was a bit of a distance from the hotel, but that is to be expected downtown.

Pros:

Location and front desk

Cons:

No bathing gel, two shampoo and one conditioner, they clean every other day so if you don't know you drop towels on the floor and you don't have a replacement. You don't get coffee replacement as they come every other day. The valet guy was very rude.

Double charged with no restorations
Pros:

They gave us drink passes at 2am when we were leaving the next day at noon. They should have been breakfast passes. The bar wasn’t even open. Then when we went to have breakfast, the girl waitressing is talking so loud that the entire restaurant knew our business and that we had the wrong cards.

Overall lackluster experience for almost $300 and LESS THAN 12 hours in the hotel.

Cons:

I was charged by Booking.com and the hotel. Now neither one seems to want to own up and refund the prepayment. This hotel does NOT accept prepayment. Booking.com has always been my go to but they’re SCAMMING ME RIGHT NOW. Do NOT BOOK WITH THEM

This property was very comfortable with a great location.
Pros:

The property is in a great location. Many sights were within walking distance. The room was clean and very comfortable. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Cons:

The only thing I didn’t like was that the tv was not facing the bed. The tv was placed on the wall to the left, making it difficult to watch tv while you’re in bed.

Nice property, disappointing experience
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, and the room was comfortable and well-appointed. The overall infrastructure and design are definitely a highlight.

Cons:

I found a large cockroach in my bathroom and reported it immediately at the morning, and they took care of the insect. When I returned later that day, the room had not been cleaned, the bathroom was untouched, and even the towels were not replaced. I was told housekeeping is only done “every other day,” which is not acceptable in a situation like this.
The towels were only replaced after I requested it, but given the situation, this should have been handled proactively — it felt like a lack of basic common sense.

Front desk service was also disappointing, as the issue was handled in a very dismissive way.

Breakfast service was extremely slow, with only one person taking orders.
