I really enjoyed my stay. The hotel was clean, and up to date. My room was kind of situated in a duck off location, which was private and quiet. The only thing that kind of made me feel uneasy was that there were no cameras in the hallway leading to my room. But overall everything went smooth. Valet was prompt. I also liked the hydration station they had on each floor, where you could get a water bottle and fill it up. I would stay again.

Great location for a decent price. The bath towel was a little small and rough, and the TV remote was a bit wonky trying to control the television.
