Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
very trendy decor for the room, very comfortable beds with excellent pillows. Hotel staff was friendly and the coffee and tea station in the lobby was perfect!
Only complaint was the glass sliding bathroom door. The lock didn't work and it closed with a loud bang clang. More decorative than functional.

Disliked: Staff & service
The reason for the poor review is that the staff at front desk let homeless in whom helped themselves to breakfast buffet and coffee station. It is unsanitary and not fair to paying customers. Its not a public place as the woman at front desk told me. Thats ridiculous! I didnt pay to eat at a soup kitchen.
The staff is always courteous, helpful, professional, and genuinely nice. I am there on a weekly basis and always feel welcomed. I appreciate how they value my business. Most importantly I love that their eyes smile like their happy to help.
didn't have breakfast, bar needs an upgrade! drink selection, didn't have the ingredients to make a martini. room was great, non traditional front desk was confusing at first. But good stay. If you are in the area worth a visit
