Disliked: Pee stained wall paper in bathroom, had to ask for 2 towels every day ( 4 of us and they only reset us with 2 towels )

Valet not great but nice...

Liked: Such a beautiful hotel. The staff were wonderful, especially Cynthia! Comfortable bed. Small bathroom but the shower products were great.
Disliked: The valet situation wasn’t great. You have to use valet unless you want to get up at 7am to fill the meter. We thought we’d get a text when our car was ready but we waited a long time with no word and it was waiting outside for like 40 minutes. Our car had mud splashed on it when we got it back too.

Not worth the insane prices

Liked: Walkability to nearby places
Disliked: Dirty dirty carpets and seating in rooms, very loud, had to take ice cold showers the first night because water heater wasn’t working and no one even apologized to us about that. Just business as usual so I’m guessing it’s a common occurrence.

Won’t happen again.

Liked: Don’t know. Didn’t get to spend time there.
Disliked: Despite having a reservation I had an email confirming, I drove 5 hours to find out that they were overbooked and I was out of luck.

Great old hotel downtown close...

Liked: Had a great view on 9th floor. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. they let us check in early!Nice vibe.
Disliked: Parking is tough. Plus loiters near hotel made us uncomfortable. Especially when we had to leave at 4:30 AM and 4 loiters (adult men around 30 to 40 years old) were just hanging near hotel.

Very great impression when I...

Liked: The upper patio was great just had trouble with key cards that weekend.
Disliked: Seemed hard to get coffee in the morning.
