Disliked: Amenities
Well, there was a tent in our room, blocking the TV which we did not order. The only special request was we had asked for a corner unit didn’t know there’d be a tent. I was told it was a specialty room. Not terrible just a little weird.

Great room and even better location

We booked a room while in town for Labor Day to watch some baseball and enjoy the city. Location is fantastic and within walking distance to many attractions of the city. Check in was super easy and the king suite was large and clean. The shower is amazing and bed was comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

what is hotel with a few work around

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were really nice and courteous. There was some unique art work at this hotel that gave the space a welcoming vide. A few things to notate before booking; the elevator is really small; only about four people can get in it at a time without feeling like you are hugging the person next to you. The ice machine is located in the lobby, but if you call the front desk, they will bring you some ice. The mini fridge is a beverage refrigerator, meaning only small drinks can fit in it. In my room, there was no wall outlets near the bed so i had to change my phone across the room. My bed was firm and comfortable, but sit lower than other hotels i’ve been to. overall i enjoyed my stay.
