The lobby was nice. I am a single woman traveling alone and was put in a room directly opposite the elevators. The door had a half inch gap that I put a towel against to block the noise. The lock was a chain across the door. The interior was shabby and the tub didn’t drain as I was showering. I was surprised because this brand is usually better and the price gave me high expectations. Too pricey for what I got, which was essentially a three star hotel.

Room was clean and staff was great!!! There was a leak in the room above mine and because of that some of my shower calling got wet and came down and I let the front desk know and they immediately got maintenance called and they worked on the issue and even asked if I wanted to move rooms, but I declined because we were leaving the next day. We were still able to use the bathroom and shower. Valet was great and room service was awesome!!! All around stay was great and we will be back.

Room was great! Lobby was amazing! The live music and fireplace really encouraged us to stay at the hotel longer than we thought we would! Only problem was when I checked in, my card was charged for the room at $140, and then the card was charged $100 for incidentals. I had paid for the room through Hotels.com. I am hoping my money will be refunded expediently!
