Relaxing night away!
My husband and I took a night to go to the city and relax after Christmas. It was nice, cozy and quiet! We had dinner right inside the hotel at Ruth's Chris which i highly recommend. The only issue we had was the valet parking when checking out. There was a really long line of people waiting for their cars and only one person getting them for the guests.

To find the parking garage was a nightmare. Additionally when checking out they tell you to “just scan your garage ticket and wait for your car” but that isn’t the case. Nowhere did it say we had to also check in with valet at window, the kiosk LITERALLY said just wait after scanning so we waited 40 minutes for our car before we asked the guy where our car was and THEN he explained it and apologized for the wait but still inconvenient. The food options on site might have been good IF the hours were accommodating but I got out of my event at 9:30p, back to hotel by 10 just to be told the kitchen was closed. Would have liked a nice evening drink and food but instead spent more money to DoorDash something gross instead. While the room was okay I didn’t like the fact that “everything is extra”. Breakfast? Extra. If they offered something, it costs extra.

I travel a lot and barely leave reviews. The room was small but clean. The noise level was good it was actually pretty quiet. The breakfast is an overcharged Starbucks station with limited options. The area isn’t great not a great place to take a stroll. The deposit for the hotel is 150$ and they charge a $23 resort fee. Overall, not worth the money,staying near the airport is a better alternative.
