Great property. Amazing staff, so kind and helpful. Not sure about parking. Decently located. Lots of public transportation around. I felt safe. The views and pool are the selling point. A touch outdated like ceilings carpets and light switches and bathroom doors. Main areas are updated though. Great value for the price.

Very friendly and professional front desk staff. Somehow I had two RSVP upon check-in, but they quickly addressed the issue. The room's great view (#2524) was dampended had was the last one at the end of the hallway (#2524), and is smaller than other rooms. Would have been nice to know that...I would have taken another room.

Great views from the 23rd floor. Room itself could be updated a bit. The cafe isn’t open in the afternoon which was mildly inconvenient. Staff were terrific!

The location and easy parking were definitely a plus. However, we were extremely disappointed upon arrival. Despite booking our room months in advance, we were told at check-in that the room we reserved was no longer available and we were downgraded due to the hotel being “fully booked.” This is completely unacceptable. When a reservation is made well in advance, especially with a reputed hotel chain like IHG, guests should not be penalized for the hotel’s overbooking or poor management. We expected better standards and reliability.

This is a city location. The driveway was large enough for three cars across and that made check-in easier. Parking was $55+ with in/out pass. We stayed for the city view and it was great. Do not take a room by the elevators if you have sensitive hearing—loud mechanical sounds 24/7. We drove everywhere, so we didn’t explore the area. We could see a Trader Joe’s a few blocks away;) We would stay here again, if the price is right.
