Our check in was delayed by 2 hrs. The tv remote did not work. We had no heat for 24 hrs. Also, we were charged for about $29.00 of snacks we never purchased. They did make concessions for all the inconvenience but we will not stay here again. Disappointed considering the cost of the room.

Everything was nice but my room was never cleaned or replenished with supplies. There was a lot of confusion with the restaurant during breakfast. The staff ignored it. I literally pointed out to the host that nobody has food. The host acted as though it was an inconvenience for us to be there. It took over an hour to get the food I ordered. They said a manager would be by but that person never showed up. I’ll just say this when you have staff that doesn’t really want to serve their customers it’s very easy to tell. For the cost of the room it’s pretty offensive. The young waiter was very nice and apologized he was the only who seemed to address the issue.

I loved there was only an area rug it feels so much cleaner! I didnt like that when I checked in they asked if I wantes to valet or self park. I chose self park as I hate waiting for the valet. However she failed to mention there is no elevator from the parking lit and you have to carry your bags up a flight if stairs! If I knew that I would have left my bags in the lobby while I parked the car. The hallway you enter from the right side of the hotel smelled like mold! Yuck!

The hotel is located in the heart of the retail district where all the shops and restraunts are. Overall a good stay. AC works fantastic! The one negative is they don’t have coffee after breakfast time is over. I woke up late and around 12:30pm I asked the front desk for coffee and she directed me downstairs to their restraunt and the waiter told me they do not serve coffee at this time of day. There seems to be a coffee bar on the main check in floor but I never saw that one operating at any time either. No coffee other than at breakfast . Disappointing
