Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's excellent location, especially its proximity to DPAC and downtown attractions. Cleanliness was highlighted as a strong point, with many noting clean rooms and a fresh atmosphere. Comfortable beds and pillows were frequently mentioned, adding to guests' positive experiences. The staff received compliments for being friendly and helpful, with some going above and beyond for guests. However, parking was a major source of frustration, with complaints about inconvenient access, unclear rules, and unexpected fees. Some guests also noted issues with room cleanliness during extended stays, noise from the air conditioning, and the small pool. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives, particularly for those prioritizing location and comfort.

Pros (+) Everything was modern and fun. The layout of the room was great as we loved the bliss body products.
Cons (-) The bottle of body lotion was not changed out so the little travel sized container barely had enough for one hand application.
