We had an issue with air conditioning when we were there and the staff was terrific through that. We ultimately ended up having to move to another room but the team did everything they could to make it smooth and easy. Also, the location of this property is perfect, especially if you like to walk around the city. We would definitely stay again, just for the staff and the location.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Very quiet, great customer service, very clean and updated. Bar downstairs was great and loved using the credit they provided for happy hour. Our only complaint was very busy for a tournament (couldnt use the pool) but no fault of the hotel. Still very quiet, room darkening curtains, great water pressure and incredible location!
