The property has done some renovations but it's just cosmetic. Feels old in the rooms. And, ear plugs on the nightstands... need I say more. Good location for walking downtown though. Recommend for that!

The lobby is beautiful, and the restaurant on the main floor is also stunning. When you step into the elevators, that’s when things start to go downhill. You can tell the property stopped the renovations on floor 1. The rooms are fine, carpets need to be replaced. Housekeeping staff don’t really freshen up the rooms. Front desk staff was great. Hot tub also needs a renovation. Will probably never go back. It’s a shame really, it has potential and is in a great location.
