Julie Wed, 7 May 2025

Great!!!!

Liked: It was a great place to stay!
Disliked: The front desk guy was a fast talker and there was a lot to listen to, there was a miscommunication about the parking because he was sputtering it out so fast and we thought he said one thing but we misunderstood. Parking garage is tricky and they told us that it was.

A great place to stay...

Liked: Perfect downtown location. Big comfy bed. The front desk staff were on top of everything.
Disliked: The shower water pressure was very weak. (I'm a "fire hose shower" guy.) The hotel parking garage is small, and it's first come first served, so be prepared. But these are just small complaints. I really enjoyed staying here.

Generally I have very positive...

Liked: Excellent location, will hold luggage and will contact you if the room is available before check in.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Mark Fri, 2 May 2025

too expensive, horrible homeless area,...

Liked: The view from our room. It was a view of downtown
Disliked: You know it is going to be a bad stay when you have given ear plugs at check-in. No air conditioning, Rude Arab staff, I paid $54 for vallet and the guy still gave me a dirty look when i did not tip
