Cancer not a good enough reason for refund.
Tried to cancel because my wife had chemotherapy and we were refused. I understand that there were not supposed to be any cancelations but I would consider this an exceptional circumstance. And we offered plenty of notice.

Great new hotel
This hotel is in a great location for transportation and sightseeing. The people at the front desk are friendly and helpful. Things I like: great in-room coffee and espresso, roomy halls and spacious rooms, cleanliness, and good breakfast choices. Things I don’t like: $32 daily destination charge for things you should be included in your room fee, no included breakfast, and complicated checkout.

Amazing!
This hotel was simply amazing. We had the best customer service with the front desk and even the cleaning staff. A special shout out to light skin Christopher who answered all of our questions and gave us pertinent information on parking and the city in general. The room was very clean, the bed very comfortable and the accommodations were great! They made our week long stay well worth it!
