Great stay in great location
Front desk people and breakfast hosts were phenomenal, refill of towels and bathroom tissue not great but fixed when requested. Overall a great experience, especially the clean feel of all areas. We will be back. Thank you.

Was centrally located between Union Station, tourist attractions and a nice selection of restaurants. The room was clean, staff is friendly. Overall, a good stay. I would definitely stay there in the future. They accommodated a late check out. My only minor gripe was that after requesting and being granted a late check out - the housekeeping still came knocking several times. I have found this to be very common that the front desk and housekeeping don’t communicate these things. In fancy hotels it rarely happens but in moderate hotels, always. Good solid hotel though.

Stay was ok ok
I have not got my security deposit back. Beds were comfy, light in the room was very dull and the room was relatively very small for a 4 occupancy room. Breakfast was bare minimum.

Don't be fool with "Available" parking
When I was booking it said that there was parking available, but they forgot to mentioned it was valet parking and guest have to pay $70 per night. Free parking is on the street which there was none available even after 10pm. I end up parking about a block from the hotel, and pay $80 for two nights to park at the only lot available. Which the cost wasn't bad. Other than the inconvenience about the parking, the hotel was great. It was comfortable, clean and it is on a great location.
