Beautiful room and very clean. The bar on the roof was very cool
Pros:

It was close to the med center where I was visiting a friend. Rooms were modern and the tv system was one on the best I’ve seen at a hotel lately.

Cons:

I didn’t like the additional cost of parking. For the price I paid for the room, parking should be included. I also thought that not having a free breakfast was a little tacky

Pros:

Close to downtown

Cons:

They knock on the door Sunday morning at 9:30am to see if they could clean our room and we were still asleep. Check out is at 11am.
