I had to pay a fee to enter early but they upgraded me and it was well worth it. Great king size bed and a nice view. Only issue is that walls are paper thin and I heard all of my neighbors conversations when I was trying to sleep

I had a good time at the hotel! Staff was kind to us during the stay! The location was close to downtown and public transportation. The downside of the hotel is that they do not have their own parking structure, they valet your car.
