It was a pretty large room. The outdoor area was a bit weird as it had a small outdoor area that led to nothing. We were there the weekend of a wedding so the self parking was all full and we had to pay a bit extra for valet as that was the only option. It was an ok property, I think it is great for the location, as it’s in the middle of everything.

All of the staff were very friendly. Jacks restaurant downstairs was excellent, especially the breakfast. 👏 We ate there once for dinner (Kobe beef sliders and Calzone) and three times for breakfast (omelet and Eggs Benedict and French Toast). There was a mixup in the beginning with the rooms (wrong room type and were not available till 5pm). But overall a great experience.

When I made the reservation they told me my room had a balcony, when I get there I get a room 381 next to the loudest sliding guest door in the building and no balcony couldn’t sleep because of it thanks for ruining my stay. Constant opening and closing a nightmare location.
