Don’t believe the hype
Stayed at lots of hotels “Oh there’s a $40 a day guest amenities fee” What? For cheap water and a gym. The in and out valet fee was nice. But fur an average of $280 a night. I can do better.

For a non-smoking facility, we couldn't stand the smell of pot in the hotel. Even in our room on the 8th floor, the stench permeated our room. The staff however was polite and our room was very nice. Wonderful location. Not sure if we will return.

Nice stay, I’d choose them again.
Very nice hotel. The room was cute and clean. The front desk service at check-in and checkout was excellent. The food from the restaurant was very good as well. Even though in requested no onions on my burger and still got them and had to remove them, it was very tasty.
