The hotel was great! 5 minute walk to the Taft theater. Valet parking was a plus. Karen checked us in and she was super friendly and helpful. Very quiet and clean room. Highly recommended staying here. Also a restaurant in the lobby.

We sure do appreciate your perfect rating, Danielle. However, it's concerning to hear that your recent experience did not fully live up to the standards you've come to expect from us, especially since you've always chosen to stay here. It's unfortunate that you encountered cleanliness issues in your room. We will be addressing this immediately wth housekeeping so this does not occur again. We appreciate your loyalty and hope to provide a much better experience on your next visit.
Looked for a trash can in lobby-no luck, but clean and easy walk to ball park. The Reds? Different story.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Rooms much larger than we thought. The bed was a little hard but we were able to get some rest. Staff at breakfast was top notch. They had great food and kept it stocked and cleaned tables quickly. The check in lady wasn’t very friendly but got her job done. All the other staff we came in contact with was very nice. Our check out, the lady was super nice. We will be back.

Very quiet room, we never heard any other party. The room was perfect for our family of 6. We loved the complimentary breakfast every morning. The ladies who took care of the dining room and food were very friendly. They refilled everything promptly and always met us with a high chair when they saw us coming. Over all we had an excellent stay. Two things the note the Expedia website said there were cribs onsite available. I called before we left luckily and there are no cribs so we brought our own pack n’ play. Also we anticipated that there would be parking at the hotel which there wasn’t unless you paid $42 a day for valet or where lucky enough to find a spot nearby.

The breakfast had a very good variety of options and was tasty; however, all three mornings, the dishes in the warming trays (eggs, meat, pancakes, biscuits, etc.) were not hot. Also, a number of items ran out (milk, coffee, silverware) and I had to ask to have them replaced.

The complimentary breakfast was very nice with European healthy options. The hotel restaurant had a Mediterranean chicken or salmon dinner that was fantastic! The cook even came out to ask how we liked it. It was very tasteful! The only problem was the high $40/day cost of valet parking PLUS tips. They did not recommend parking on the street because we would inconveniently need to go out and feed the meter. There is a garage down the street that is much less costly, but it's a walk to/from the hotel. Bring body lotion! You get only one tiny tube of body lotion! I was embarrassed to have to go down to guest services to ask for more. There was some construction noise in the AM, but that is understandable. No swimming pool!
