The hotel is clean and has a good location, although there were some issues with the room smell and outdated technology. The staff was a mix of nice and impersonal, but the service was overall satisfactory. The dining options were a bit limited and required additional payment, but the location was convenient for various activities.

The room had a strong mold smell on the 8th floor, slightly outdated technology-wise, but it was clean and the location was good.

Service

The staff had a mix of remembering my last name from the day before and acting like it was my fault. However, they were nice and welcoming overall, though the drop off/pick up area was cramped.

Location

The hotel is within walking distance of historic restaurants and local shops, great for dining and entertainment, and near family and the event we attended.

Dining

5.0

There was only one dining option, and you had to pay for a drink separately; it was a bit difficult to get food with long lines and limited serving staff.

Upon checking in, our room had a foul smell that persisted throughout our stay, requiring a fan running all the time. The service was exceptional, with the valet and chief engineer standing out for their professionalism and friendliness. The location was convenient for our event but bordered a rougher part of town. The dining options left much to be desired, with minimal choices offered and noise disturbances in our room. While the hotel lacked free parking and breakfast, it was near downtown attractions.

Rooms

Despite the initial unpleasant smell in the room, it was kept warm even with the AC set low. The presence of a broken fan for days impacted our experience.
