Loved it! Best baseball game...

Liked: The location is awesome. The dinner menu was great. Very helpful and friendly staff. The valets were all very nice and helpful. The room was great. High ceilings, huge window overlooking the city, bathroom was clean. The lobby is nice. Perfect for baseball games. The restaurant choices are great. Walking around is safe. Staff extremely knowledgeable. We ordered take-out for dinner the 2nd night. All around great experience. The hotel steakhouse was delicious, they had fresh oysters that were very tasty. I was shocked they had fresh oysters. The brussel sprouts were great. The Amish chicken was awesome! Dinner at the hotel was a highlight. It was also quite casual, yet refined. The TV situation in the lounge was great! The bar was busy but not overworked or rowdy. It was a calm environment, it seemed to accommodate families with young children and no children equally well. I would say it seemed more focused on serving the relaxation needs of guests than business needs of guests, but I was there for baseball, not business. So, I can only guess on that. It was a classy and respectable environment focused on serving our needs with a professional and courteous staff. 100% going to stay there again!
Disliked: The hotel is well used. You can tell a lot of people stay there. So, the walls around the baseboards and trash cans in the rooms and bathrooms show some heavy wear. But it's not horrible. It could use some minor touch up work, but the heavy traffic explains why it hasn't been done.The breakfast or brunch menu or whatever it was, was slightly limited. They even called it a "limited menu". So, we ate at the baseball game instead. There are a ton of food options around. Game days are busy and they can be quite loud. There are random people with voice amplification equipment saying all sorts of wild stuff, nothing vulgar. But if you expect to sleep in on game day, bring ear plugs. We watched the events below from our room through the huge windows. It was entertaining.

Don’t stay here if you...

Will go back
