The parking garage elevator was terrible. It was 100° and the elevator was questionably operating. With the door barely opening. There was no fan or vent at all. It was very uncomfortable. And the price per vehicle for parking is ridiculous.

Won’t be able to sleep

Air conditioner was so loud it was nearly impossible to sleep. Parking garage was way over-priced considering how difficult it is to make the tight turns to go to another level. Motion light in bathroom shuts off in the middle of a shower. Won’t be back.

Was a beautiful place. We paid up for a suite and the blackout blinds were designed not to close all the way. If the rail they were attached to didn’t stop short 4’ from the middle they would have done the job.

Great style staff and locatiobut could be cleaner

Front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel and restaurant were beautiful and the retro feel was fun and quirky like a step back in time. Beds were comfortable. Most hotels don’t meet my expectations cleanliness wise and this one was no exception, it wasn’t the worst but definitely could have been better. Hair in tub couple spots in shower walls light switches and mirrors smeared, layer of dust on upper fixtures like smoke detectors etc. maybe I’m just picky but definitely a three for room cleanliness other than that the hotel was great in every way.
