While the room was fine, all the ammenities were misleading. The breakfast was continental (not complementary), the wifi was slow, and the parking garage was broken in a dangerous way. There was also a ring camera in the room that felt violating.

I checked in about 10pm w a reservation. The room was freezing cold. I eventually located an open window behind the closed drapes. The bath mirror was cracked and glued together, the bath sink was cracked down the middle. I found brown lumps on the carpet that were obviously from dog doo doo (smell), carpet was not vacuumed and had dog food I kept stepping on. Breakfast was cold cereal, apples, muffins and bagels. Not my idea of a 4 Star hotel. Sadly disappointed!

Booked this specific hotel because it was close to the Moda center and the price.. but the hidden fees took away any sort of value in this hotel. $40 for parking (per night!), and you can’t even maintain your EV charging? There’s only one out of five working EV chargers.. why even advertise that. And $30 for an amenity fee? What amenities are there? The poor excuse for the breakfast? Or the $8 waters in the room? Or the lack of an ice machine on each floor? Lack of a microwave in the room? Also, back on the breakfast, when we saw how poor the continental breakfast was, we decided we’d order off the menu since the prices seemed decent. Stood there like a clueless idiot for awhile before anyone even acknowledged us, and then got served a jimmy dean breakfast sandwich and a stale frozen burrito with mystery meat. This hotel has so much potential, it has an amazing location and a great atmosphere as you walk in, but it feels so shady and gross to be charged for the lacking amenities, and to pay that much for parking with one EV charger is absolutely ridiculous. Just avoid this one!

Quiet and easy attitude. “Amenities” said gormet coffee in rooms. There was no coffee at all. The breakfast was mostly cereal. We did get free water, but for $30 each, we were disappointed. A few years ago we loved this hotel. Now the garage exit door was broken and things seemed a little “tired.”
