    The shower was awkward and the connector for the showerhead couldn't support its weight. The pillows were also practically nonexistent.

    The staff were very friendly. The room was very modern looking, complete with electric shades.

    key operated elevator was spotty, every-other-day housekeeping would be good, but they didn't always show up as scheduled and the cleaning so/so (dusty bathroom spaces).

    Great location, nice lobby, friendly valet parking, nice lobby bar (but limited hours), great workout room with lots of machines and free weights, good workspace, good TV service

    The cleanliness of the room. The housekeeping sucks. The room was dirty in the corners, they hadn’t swept good cause there was visible debris on the floor. It was dusty everywhere as if the room hadn’t been used, it should’ve been cleaned up since someone was going into the room. I complained & housekeeping came to fix the issues. They did nothing. The room was the same. Thank God I carry bleach wipes, dawn & alcohol.

    The people at the reception desk were very friendly and helpful. I wish I had written down names. The pool was a plus. The makeup of the hotel was fun & happy.

    The hotel was pretty full, so I ended up in a room facing the courtyard. The courtyard is pretty boring, and the lobby bar was only so-so.

    There is a really nice outdoor pool on the 8th floor. Open until 11 pm. Happy hour bar on the pool deck.

    Room lights not well coordinated. Bathroom light not isolated from rest of room. Got warmer in room at night so must be on a monitor of sort regardless of how you set room temp. Sheets poor quality in my opinion kept getting tangled up in them.

    Convenience. All staff, front desk, valet, very nice and friendly. Plenty of pillows, very nice view of city.

    My room 822 faced the pool. It was awkward. I couldn’t open the blinds or people could see my room so it had to be completely dark. For this level there should be sheer curtains as an option for light and privacy.

    Rooms were TOO barebones for the price. No qtips/toiletries, no daily cleaning so would've liked bigger garbage cans or trash liners with drawstrings as an alternative. Would've like a small, non rolling chair with arms esp in a ADA room. Room upon arrival had 2 flying bugs(no open windows/doors in room), something that resembled dried boogers in top of shower) no luggage racks. Killed both bugs prior to leaving.

    Location Staff was friendly and helpful. , Bed/bedding were comfortable but lacked weight-had to request blankets-staff happy to comply. Valet Nick and the woman on Wednesday were extremely nice and helpful.

    I didn't like that they didn't have free parking, only vale for 20$ a night. And gave us wrong information about the street parking.

    I liked the hotel's location - it is within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The room was big and nice.
