If you do not want to pay $84 a night to park here please book somewhere else. The hotel is suppose to be luxury but to a trained eye, it was not clean. The mirrors were dusty, paint spills, chipped furniture, and a weird smell when you first entire the room. The beds were nice though and the water pressure was great. Breakfast is extremely expensive as well so you’d be better including it in your stay or going out for breakfast because the menu isn’t worth it. It was quiet near the rooms and they played good music at night over the weekend I stayed there. I’d never book here again though.

this hotel has gone downhill since 2021 when our friends had their wedding there. the pool had an overwhelming smell of chlorine with zero ventilation, and visible mold growing all over the ceiling, walls, etc. our room was literally next to the elevator shaft so we heard the elevators moving up and down the entire night. the only good thing they have going is the view. obnoxious rap music blasting in the lobby. zero christmas decorations. so many better hotels to stay at downtown this one is not it.

The room was an average size, but the bathroom drain was clogged. Once I reported it to the management they immediately offered a different room.
