Overall, a nice stay. Clean room, great shower, very good bed. I did have some issue making the a/c stay on— kept having to restart it. And in the morning, they had a beautiful charcuterie out sling with some yogurts…but no silverware to serve/eat it with— so, that was a problem.

Room was great. Plenty of surfaces to put luggage. Bed was comfortable. Staff pleasant. Rooftop bar (reason I chose hotel) wasn't open. No small plates available. Breakfast was a nice selection but no salt/pepper for eggs, no cream/sugar for coffee, no serveware, no utensils. Not sure what is going on.

We were there for 4 nights and was never able to take a nice shower. The water was cold and the pressure was awful. The wifi was also very spotty 2 work meeting zooms dropped. Not the best stay for us. The only good thing was proximity to our daughter’s campus. Nothing was offered for the inconveniences we experienced either.

Hotel is clean and the staff is awesome! We were there for soccer and it was close to the stadium. My only complaint would be it’s a little loud if your room is next to the street but other than that I would highly recommend.
