The hotel was clean, relaxing and beautiful. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The hotel also provided a wonderful experience for my dog. My only issue at the hotel was about the breakfast. At the check in process and at the restaurant, we were informed that the breakfast was included. The food and services at the breakfast area were excellent, but just at the time of checkout, we were informed that we had a credit of only $30 per day for breakfast for 3 people. In addition, the hotel doesn’t have any breakfast for $10. We had to pay for breakfast for every day we stay at the hotel and we felt frustrated for hidden fee and information.

The only negative was that there is no parking at hotel and valeting your car costs 37 dollars a night!! Besides this the room was very clean and comfortable, the rooftop bar was awesome as well as the lobby. Would definitely recommend!!

Everything was great! If I had to mention something that stood out, that was outstanding it would certainly be the patience and kindness of the Valet gentleman that helped me search for my missing glasses! He went above and beyond to help me try to find them, I did later find them! The overall “Graduate” theme was carried out throughout the hotel, and it was fun to see all the decor. The staff were warm, welcoming and helpful! We ended up ordering several appetizers and entrees for dinner before heading off to a near by show. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! My only complaint would be not knowing that the hotel was “pet friendly” and when I say that… don’t get me wrong, we love pets! However, one of our family members is allergic and the fact that people enter and exit the small confirmed area of the elevator with pets, the pet dander did cause some allergy issues. This is something that is becoming more common in hotels and shared spaces, not sure how it could be avoided but wish there was a way to almost keep things separated.
