"Hotel was in a great spot. Rooms are a bit loud, ours had a periodic rattling noise. The rooms were dated but clean and comfortable. Staff were amazing and helpful, offered water when we arrived there. Ate at the restaurant and the food was very good and the wait staff were great."

"Was only there for one night so don’t get too much experience. I’d say the parking was pretty expensive, but it’s nice to have secure safe parking, an easy driveway to stop at and valet. The restaurant on L2 was decent but service was quite slow. The complimentary bottle of wine was a very nice touch. ..."
