The hotel is located in a quiet area. Parking structure is gated and secured. They have someone checking cars in and out. So that gives you peace of mind. The hotel is beautiful as soon as you step in. Clean, stylish and very modern. The staff is so friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice, you are welcomed with your name on the TV screen. I will say you can hear your neighbors opening and closing the door. Other than that it's a really nice hotel to stay at. I will be staying there again on my next trip.

The sheets were a bit rough, and the walls were so thin that I could hear the person in the room next to me. The towels also smelled unpleasant and felt rough. On a positive note, the shower was nice and the water felt much softer and good pressure compared to other nearby hotels. However, this establishment doesn't seem geared toward English-speaking American guests, as everything-from signage to TV channels—was only in Spanish. The buffet, though, was good. Lucerna and the K Tower are very nice and geared towards English-speaking individuals
