If you want a flooded room, choose this hotel. If you want to face blame instead of an apology when problems happen, choose this hotel. If you want the wonderful experience of not being able to sleep the whole night, choose this hotel.

The location was 10/10 The room had the weirdest smell that did not subside (old sewer water smell) and was not worth the price of the stay in our opinion. The hotel and all surrounding hotels were fully booked during our stay or we would have requested a different room/ booked elsewhere. The location was walkable, lobby was gorgeous and on-site restaurants were fantastic. Truly our own negative feedback was the room itself was underwhelming/ felt like an old motel not a $400+/ night hotel stay. If the hotel improved their room quality/ cleanliness- it would be a 10/10 property
