Hotel staff were very friendly and knowledgeable on dining. Streets in the city were beautiful and clean and parking in the garage was a breeze. Saturdays outside the hotel was an enormous farmers market which was a bonus! Only downside was the pool was closed for remodel when we stayed. Which there was a disclaimer about that before booking. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

The hot shower was not available when I checked in the room. It was unreasonable that I had to wait to use hot shower until 11PM. I wanted to get a refund from the hotel, but the receptionist were unwilling to solve the problem.

Getting to and from the parking garage is very inconvenient. You have to take 3 different elevators and walk quite a ways to get to your vehicle. Also they do not valet certain cars because of their value. I would think a more valuable car would be one you would want to valet. Other than that the hotel is great!

I really enjoyed the location and the beds were very comfortable. The property has the potential to be an excellent choice. We checked on our room and the AC was blowing, but it was kind of humid so we put it down to 70 to cool the room down. When we got back, it was very muggy and humid. That night I could not sleep at all because the AC was not working properly and I was sweating all night. We asked the front desk to fix it and they sent somebody up and it was blowing better but after 12 hours to give it time to cool off, it was still very humid. They sent someone up to fix it again and the second night sleep was much better. We really wanted to enjoy the indoor pool but it was halfway drained and not open. Housekeeping was excellent and the showers were hot after a few minutes and decent water pressure. I would definitely stay here again as the market out front Saturday morning was so cute , I just wish the maintenance of the property was better.

Cold Shower

Had to take a cold shower when I arrived and then had the same problem the next morning. Waited for the shower to get hot but made me late for my meeting as they were kind enough to move me to another room just to take a shower. Staff was very nice so hate leaving a negative review.
