Provided us with a roof over our heads and we are thankful for that.
Pros:

I thought the room was clean and the staff were nice.

Cons:

I didn’t like that the doors to each room were glass with a curtain covering them it didn’t feel safe. I could hear partying until 3 am on a Friday night and multiple other loud sounds and music on different days. There was homeless near and it did not feel safe with a young baby. Also, you basically have no choice but to do valet and the price for that was outrageous. There’s public parking next to the hotel, but not a safe area as there were multiple homeless and people on drugs.

Not a 4 start hotel and more like a 2 star.
Pros:

Free coffee was actually pretty good and if you are in the mood of partying and experiencing city life, this is a good location. Staff were friendly as well.

Cons:

The room was not very clean. The bed sheets were super old and worn out. No slippers were available. The blanket was bad and old. Lots of dirty spots on the walls. Be ready for homeless people everywhere around the hotel and a bad smell. Also, 56 dollars for parking? Is this a joke?!
