It was ok. The bed could have been more comfortable and cozy. We asked for an upgrade and were told to check back the following day. The following day we asked for a more comfortable bed and were told they’re all the same.

I love this hotel. The staff was nice and best of al they have a bar in the hotel that serves this dark chocolate beer that feels sinful to drink because it was so good. The hotel was walking distance from everything. Even though I brought my vehicle with me I only drove it once during my stay. Also the parking garage is across the street from the hotel. But the plus is that it is behind a security gate so you have a lesser chance of your vehicle being tampered with. Loved the hotel and will be staying there again.

While the hotel is nice and in a great location, our faced a busy street at an intersection. All night long we heard the chirping of the crosswalk chime and it was awful. Did not get a good night's rest the two nights we were there. That being said, we would stay here again, just not on that side of hotel
