New construction, clean and modern. Very quiet. Friendly helpful staff - they checked our bags for a couple of hours after we checked out. Only complaint - extremely small room. Adequate for one person but so small two people had to take turns when getting off the bed to walk anywhere in the room.

First time to stay here. Well maintained, easy to access location, nice room if a bit barebones. They do not provide hiusekeeping except by request so expect to ask for that. The restaurant, Margeux, was excellent and hopping with activity for dinner.

The hotel is nice, bathrooms are modern. There are blackout curtains. Staff in the lobby 24/7. The rooms were small but worked well for me because I was solo. Places nearby include a Target, CVS, and places to eat. It's also not too far from downtown. Overall 9.4/10

Parking was a bit pricey, but very convenient. Front desk staff and valet were great. Woman who cleaned the room was polite and friendly (didn't speak a lick of English). I'll stay there again next time I have business in the area.

Lovely boutique hotel, easy valet parking, great location, room with queen was comfortable and clean. The only draw back was that the bathroom was incredibly and abnormally small. Great hotel if you're travels involves being out and about most of the day.
