Excellent location. Walkable to all top sites. Bedroom could have been cleaner. Dust bunnies all along wall of bed. For the money I expected cleaner. Staff were outstanding. Bed was very comfortable and bedding clean. Valet parking was crazy. Communication via email and at hotel in regards to restaurants poor. Restaurants advertised as open were closed.

Liked: Staff & service
The service at the lobby is perfect. It's a clean hotel but the room are very small. The bathroom very very small and very old style for the price. Even the restroom at the lobby are very old style for that quality of hotel and for the price we paid. Also another point i didn't like is the parking. No choice you have to pay the valet service because there's no way to park your car. So you have to add 60$ if you pay for a night. But if not you pay 25$. I found that very strange and unfair. I was very disappointed over all. I was expecting better service better room and better quality over all. Sorry...but no more for me.

Great, but parking a problem
Perfect other than basically impossible to park there or even check in at the door, so be prepared to park a block away and lug you luggage.

A good stay
We stayed in the deluxe double room. The beds were very small and not comfortable. I would say they were a California twin not a full double bed. The room was large so I don’t know why the wouldn’t but in bigger beds. The staff were friendly but parking and food are expensive. The location cannot be beat! Biking, walking, no need for in and out privileges for the valet.

Disliked: Staff & service
1. No parking, which is unacceptable for a hotel of that category. Only valet parking which was already full. Sends you to park in the art center. 2. Non-smoking room smells heavily as a cleaned smoker’s room. 3. Very noisy old a/c which makes it hard to sleep at night.
