Derikk, Apr 2023
Hotel was a great location but the big disappointment was they have huge hidden fees that are not optional. They add on a Wi-Fi and facility charge of 40 dollars a day that should be on the room price advertised. They wait until you are checking in to hit you with 40 dollars for facilities, 40 dollars for parking. I liked the hotel and location, but once you figure in the “extras”, you could stay ...

Pros (+) Nice lobby with friendly staff greeting us upon arrival. Lots of charm with short excerpts posted throughout highlighting the history of the building. Room was comfortable with all needed amenities for a place to stay. The purpose of our stay was the city. This room gave us a comfy pillow top mattress to rest and recharge each night with complimentary water keeping us hydrated. Workout facility wa...
Cons (-) Rooms were small. There was no view including limited sunlight through the window plus the "green" lighting made it so you had to turn every light in the room on when getting ready. Bathroom was small and no vent :-/. Closet didn't open all the way due to being obstructed by the bedside table (again, room was small). I'm being as honest as possible with these negative, but the purpose of the room ...
