Good location. The layout of the building was somewhat confusing. Our room window faced a blank outside wall. Seemed to be doing a lot of updating and construction. Hallway carpets and elevator floors were dirty and stained. Bed was very comfortable and room was well appointed with a kitchen and bar area and clean. Wall light on bed wall was broken and shelf in bathroom was about to fall off along with the tp holder. Reported to front desk. Very good selection of options for breakfast.

Thank Arch!
Arch at reception was so helpful and patient. I was traveling with my 87 year old father and Arch helped me to make sure he was in a safe and comfortable room. He really saved me and my mental health! Much appreciated!

The TV did not work and could not be fuxed, so we were moved to a construction floor. The swimming pool and spa were unavailable. The beautiful pastries on the site were actually muffins in plastic bags. "Sleeps 4" included a nice king bed and a pullout sofa with and extra thin mattress pad that came with a package of sheets. So really only a room for two. There were homeless people in the area, and two big blue dumpsters at the front door. All of this, plus $20 a day to park.

Horrible stay. Checked into a 85 degree room and had to be moved. The whole hotel lost power during the night and it got so hot. The whole third floor (where they had us stay) was under construction and a complete mess. No pool or hot tub. The elevator was not working. I took a video of it, as it was so bad. I don’t know what to say. But it was a huge disappointment for me.
