Not so well

With the price of the rooms I expected a little more. The first night at the room I found that the mini fridge was pretty warm and not at all able to get cold. Later that night I found myself trying to is empty complimentary hygiene products that were completely empty in the shower. And on our way back to the room thru the catwalk from a 12 hour day at a volleyball tournament at the Convention Center, my card and another couples card did not work to get in the doors to the entrance. We banged on the door which no one heard and actually called the hotel to make them aware we were outside trying to use the cards in 5 degree weather. They did promptly open the door for us and make sure our cards worked which they did. The best part was the quick access to the Convention Center.

This hotel was a great place to stay when my husband and I went to a concert at the Kemba. The restaurants and the concert was within a 15 min walking distance and that was a great location. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The only thing I would knock them for would be that they give you “complimentary” items when you arrive but then you actually receive a document that states you are paying for those same items. Otherwise, I would suggest staying here if you can.

I really like the hotel, the amenities and walkability of the area around the property. The staff who checked us in were incredible, the room was nice and cozy, overall enjoyed our stay. Only grief I have, at 4:00 AM the hotel phone rang and woke my husband and I up. Then the phone rang again. My hsuband answered it half asleep and confused. The staff was calling to check in saying there were complaints from our neighbors of yelling and screaming. My husband asked "from this rooms?" So confused. They confirmed and ge stated we had fallen asleep with the tv on, but that couldn't be us. I have actually never had that experience before of the hotel staff waking us up in any visit I have ever had to a hotel and really didnt appreciate it.

We stayed in the loft section and ligting and where the plus all were was terrible. Love the hotel but won’t want to stay in the section again and it had a weird smell the longer we was there in the elevator and entrance way.
