9/10 Wonderful! (346 reviews)

The staff were amazing. The valet even helped us get and set up the uber app that we had never used. Check in was prompt and easy. The room was very clean and the bed was great. The bathroom area lighting was not as bright as I would prefer, likely due to the black decor. I was disappointed that the only in room coffee option was Nespresso, not a fan so I had to leave the room to get coffee from the coffee shop. The lack of a microwave was also disappointing.

Clean, large room! On site restaurant was delicious. In great area to walk to many restaurants. Noisy bar next door but they provide ear plugs & sound machines, so easily drowned out the music.
