Nathalie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was spacious, very nice industrial look, comfortable bed. Awesome restaurant and bar. Only thing I will say negative is that the room could be completely dusted and cleaned throughout that is all. Very nice hotel.
Joshua, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived in the parking garage. They helped me with my luggage, found luggage I had failed to unload, and were tirelessly looking out for me. The 2 dinners I had from the restaurant were both excellent. The server, Colton, was very nice.

Room was nice. We didn’t like that roof access was right outside the window. Felt like someone could look in.
Tamera, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was top tier. Professional and accommodating. Spotless room and great amenities. Only suggestion would be to move the toilet tissue holder to the right and forward. VERY hard to reach.
Beth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in was pleasant and efficient. So generous to let us check out late! Room was the perfect temp when we walked in. Bed and pillow were just like I like it. Quiet in there, could not hear neighbors at all. Valet did a wonderful job (even though I would have been happy to park myself if I had seen where to go.)

Room was Great 👍👍. Customer service was Excellent 👍👍💯. Very Professional
Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The restraunt was phenomenal. The thermostat in our room was not adjustable so we were a bit cold with no extra blankets in the closet and only a thin one on the bed. All off the pillows were extremely thick and firm which doesnt leave you many options. Sleeping wasnt great.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

Love the hotel but the lighting in the lobby and restaurant is terrible at night. Wow. Get some warm lighting, possibly? Or those warm battery powered candlelights on the tables? Would make a world of difference.
Joseph, 3-night trip

Good family trip

My family and I rented a loft room for the weekend. We saw a concert that was a 10 minute walk down the street from the hotel. The area around the hotel is beautiful. The hotel was modern and clean. The air conditioning worked great. We really had a great time!

Roberto Y., 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had to switch rooms about 30mins after checking in. The first room had bed bugs. I took a video and some photos to show the front desk. They gave me another room, it was very clean and bug free. They also gave us a complimentary dinner for 2.
