This property exceeded our expectations at almost every turn. It is a well maintained luxury property with excellent, friendly staff. Our guest room was generously large and the public sitting area was clean and inviting. The check-in/out process was different than expected but there was plenty of staff to walk us through the process.

Important review

While their rooms are great. I have stayed with this location years ago and same.. rooms are great but in 2025 their front desk service / billing has changed. I stayed with them for 4 days extended stay same room. My advice for anyone reading this its best to book through any third party that you find cheaper rates and choose the option to pay now. Do not choose the option to pay at the property like i did because you will have the worst nightmare. They are conducting bad business with guests money. They have charged my card more than one time then only refunded me one of the charges back. Claiming they dont see on their side where they have charged me more than once etc.. when i have the proof on my bank transactions. Also its best to give them the incidental deposit in cash even with that they took my incidental on one of my stays claiming when they tried to collect the room rate & taxes from my card it declined when that were a huge lie they just found a reason to take my deposit. However the deposit issue didnt happen again so i still think its best to pay the deposit in cash when they mention the deposit to you.

Pretty good, but view was bad.

The windows were on the back side of the hotel, showing mostly highrise business buildings and apartments. The window had a stain over most of it which made it hard to see anything. Looking down from the 6th floor looked at the alley and all the dumpsters on the street below.
