This property has a great location with a friendly front desk staff. The bed was very comfortable and our corner room was quiet. With renovations ongoing at the property expect construction noise between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Additionally, check-in at 4 p.m. was exceptionally slow due to only 1 person initially working. Waits for the elevators can be long as not all are currently in working order.

Excellent stay. My only complaint is I had to wait until they found someone to check me in. No one was at the front desk. Two people finally came by but did not have a login to the computer??? It took 20 minutes before they found someone to check me in.

It was within walking distance to where we wanted to go. But check in was extremely chaotic. There is no early check in so we pre check in and told to come back at for along with many other guests so at 4 pm most everyone who did the same were waiting in line to check in, with only 1 clerk to do so. Then we had no hot water in the morning. It was definitely not a good experience. We have stayed there before and liked it.
