Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Very displeased with perks of VIP. We did not get a room upgrade. We requested a 1pm checkout and it was denied. They presented like we were getting a free breakfast as a perk, but all guests got the free (bad) breakfast so NOT A PERK. The pool was closed on the weekends despite the listing saying in was open everyday except major holidays. It took 3 elevator transfers to get to the lap pool at the fitness club. It is not a pool for relaxing and hanging out as one would expect at a hotel. While it did not impact us, several other guests tried to take their children and were denied as it’s an 18+ pool, but not advertised on listing.

coffee needs a boost

Disappointed there wasnt better coffee option in the morning breakfast offering. Only Keurigs. Not convenient to have to go out to find good coffee. Fresh brewed coffee seems like a must for a hotel so far up off the street, with not many close options.

The rooms are amazing high ceilings huge windows ton of space. I will go back here. The only downside is the amenities are very limited. You need to bring your own stuff food, drinks coffee etc.
