Great Stay
Had a wonderful stay! Our room was on the second floor but we still found it very quiet. Hotel has a great location and the rooftop terrace is a wonderful feature with great views. No issues during our stay! We also found it pretty good value for the price, although not sure the resort fee is really worth it given the only included amenity seemed to be the fitness center.

Safe location and friendly staff
We stayed here overnight before an early morning medical procedure. Hotel is well located and in a safe area. The front desk staff were great, valet was easy and efficient, and our room was spacious. Free WiFi and good selection of channels in the room.
We were able to retrieve our car early (430am) which was great as some hotels don’t do 24 hour valet.
