We had to check in very late so I called ahead of time. They were understanding and friendly. When we arrived, check-in was quick and we VIP perk was free valet, which we really appreciated. I did, however, bring it up because she was about to charge me for it. The room was very clean and I appreciated the decor/details and style. I would recommend it and would stay here again!

This hotel was an unbelievable hotel for the price! It was comparable to staying at a luxury boutique like freehand, only better! Beautifully decorated, elevated food/coffee options in the hotel, purified water dispensers near ice (both still and sparkling!!) I stayed an extra night it was so nice!
