Staff was excellent. Mandatory valet parking and mandatory payment for said parking seemed unnecessary to me. Everything seemed clean though. Elevator traffic was busy in a way that was kind of ridiculous. And stairway options were limited, because the stairs don’t go into the lobby. The complimentary breakfast was going to require too much waiting (lots of foot traffic and everyone was waiting for food that wasn’t there yet) so we skipped out. Could’ve just been an irregular busy day for them, but it felt like certain aspects could have been managed better. Great staff though. Poor management in my opinion.

This was the most hospitable place I've stayed all year. I had a mishap with my reservation before I came down and the hotel resolved it, they also helped me when i needed a late checkout and dropped my breakfast all over the elevator. I'm not used to being treated with kindness that’s above and beyond at an economically priced hotel.
