"Loved the room at first. It was like a small apartment. Good location and very comfy. We left for a few hours. Where we returned our room was 85 degrees! Like a sauna! The heat was turned on full blast throughout the building. The front desk apologized, but said there was nothing they could do. We slept, sweating, with the windows open. Not acceptable."
"Important notes: rooftop deck with pool that they feature prominently in the ads is not open until late May regardless of weather. Lobby bar closes early - no in-room evening dining. Rooms are definitely average to below average - especially the accessible rooms - which you may be assigned even if not needed (we were!). Lighting in bathroom is terrible and feels like a Motel. Other than its location, I found this hotel below average."
"It was awfully rxpensive, but apparently there was a meeting going on in town so most hotels were booked and those that weren’t definitely had surge pricing! I’d have liked a vending machine with the ice machine on the halls. We just wanted to have a Coke in the room and you couldn’t. We even asked at the front desk if there was a vending machine anywhere nope so we went to the restaurant to order a couple to go (no room service option) and they said I’m sorry food and drink can’t leave our restaurant. I said not even a Coke? And was told sorry policy. So that was weird. Otherwise the room was spacious, the staff was nice. "
