Service from the front desk to the valet to the restaurant was top notch. Super helpful and very attentive. Loved the vibe of the whole property! The live music was great and the martinis were great!

It's a nice property, nice views. I wasn't a fan of the people around us and how noisy they were. It felt like we were staying in a parking lot.

limited parking - need to take Uber to go downtown or else lose parking space and go a block away for pay parking. no air-conditioning & street noise - I mean you were using them for previous complementary ear plugs available as well as an electric fan.
