HOTEL IS CLOSED
THIS HOTEL DOES NOT EXIST. It is now owned by the city. I think as a homeless shelter or something. We were sent to Park Central Hotel which was wonderful.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I was informed upon arrival that I couldn't stay due to them being a pop-up homeless shelter. I never received any form of communication alerting me to this, nobody is at the phone at the hotel to even check this, and now they're refusing to refund me the $610.41 I paid to stay there. Avoid this hotel, period.

hidden fees but good service and clean
Not until we arrived did I learn that there was a $30 per night 'facilities fee'. Also I had to pay $40 per day for parking, while most places around provided parking with a room. So when you're looking at the price here add $70 per day if you want to compare apples to apples.

Hotel was not able to accommodate checking in early, which OK not a guarantee with hotels. When we did finally get to check in there were no towels, our room was tiny, stains on all over the carpet (bring slippers!), & the bathroom setup did not make sense. It had a tiny sink with an oversized faucet so water would get all over the floor when you used it. Also, the toilet paper post was practically on the floor so it’s an awkward stretch from the toilet. The room gets very cold at night, no adjustable thermostat in the room which is ridiculous! When we asked the front desk about they said they would try and find us a portable heater - never received one. I would avoid this hotel at all costs! Pay whatever it is to stay at a decent place.

No place else to go? Preview your room.
Awful, first room, No widow, over 95degrees, a closet with a bed stuck in it. Terrible not at all like the photo. Staff assisted the second room, better, again no window. Floow ac unit blowing air into the room. Needless to say, I fell ill the next day with an awful sinus infection. Photos are a misrepresentation of the rooms.Hotel staff was super nice. All in all.

Rude and incompetent staff
The staff was awful and rude. Upon check in they were pleasant. We then called later for instruction on their valet and they could not answer our questions and were put off they we were even asking. Then asked face to face and the receptionist told us to not drive. So rude and inappropriate.

Next time just don’t drive.
I wish I could talk about exceptional service except it’s only how exceptionally horrid it was. We arrived in the evening for our check in and could not find where to park to use the valet service so we called the hotel. After asking for our number and confirming we had a reservation, the front desk staff was unable to tell us where to park or how to take advantage of this service. We were told to take down a number and call someone else who might be able to hep us. They were also not able to tell us. We found the nearest parking garage that allowed overnight parking and carried our luggage the block and a half. The coup de grâce was the next morning when asking about the said valet service while we checked out. The exceptional staff told us we should have ignored all posted road signs and turned down the street illegally and park illegally. That statement was then followed up with the excellent advice of “Next time just don’t drive.”
