I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a satisfactory experience. The room was generally clean, providing a comfortable space for relaxation. However, I did encounter a noticeable issue with the mattress, which had a significant stain. This was a bit concerning but other than that, the cleanliness of the room was commendable. Hopefully, this issue will be addressed promptly to enhance the guest experience. I would consider staying here again if this concern is rectified.

Not worth the money

The staff was very nice and friendly however, we paid $500 to stay here for one night. We had a charity event up the street. I feel like this hotel took advantage of the event being in the area, which is kind of sad since it was a cancer charity event. Next weekend, the same room is only 265 . After paying $500 when we opened up our windows of our room, they overlooked the roof with two air-conditioning vents right outside them not worth the money. They did end up moving us, but would not be returning here.

The rooms are very nice and comfy. The only thing I have to complain about is that the room I was in did not have a microwave, and in the morning we had a coffee pot but no coffee to brew; I only had tea bags. Other than that, the room was pretty nice.
