Very attentive staff. Great downtown location. Clean room. Best shower ever.
Pros: friendly staff, clean, convenient location & parking, comfortable bed
Cons: lighting can be blinding, no shower door - water gets all over the floor even with bath mat, could hear people talking and walking on the floor above us early in the morning and in lobby late at night

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff was acceptable. The room was not very comfortable for many reasons. The lighting was terrible—light switch 6 feet from bed. No reading lights on either side of bed. No lighting illuminating entrance door area where there was a full-length mirror, but good luck seeing anything. Also no lighting in coffee preparation area. And the clothes hangers were almost seven feet above the floor—good luck trying to reach those! Ha! Window blind was not wide enough to block the light coming in from a street light outside the window. The thermostat could not be changed. Comfort lacking in so many ways. Entirely too expensive for the inadequacy of the room. The morning staff had no idea how to interact with me when I wanted to check out. However, great location!

This was an amazing stay. The only thing that made me laugh was the amount of bulbs burnt out. And lack of overall maintenance. Just simple stuff. Not a big deal but we had to set the TVS up to work. They weren't Connected. But the building itself was amazing.
