The staff was incredible. The hotel was nice and smelled great. However, be prepared to pay for parking. The garage is about a block away and charges $20 a day. The hotel was recently opened so there was no gym and most of the electric did not work in the room. We had to move the refrigerator across the room and we had to plug the microwave into a bathroom outlet to make it work. The staff apologized and were super nice. There were "joints" on the floor in the lobby which smelled up everything. The fire alarm went off at 4:30am which evacuated the entire hotel. It was just a mess, but over all the room was made to work for us. They have two elevators and only one worked. Overall, it is in a central location in the city and is a 5 minute walk from everything. I would suggest another hotel for three or more people as the rooms are very tiny.
