The hotel is beautifully updated and the rooms are spacious. Lobby/bar is also really nice! The staff were also so friendly, every person we encountered was super nice. However, I did have two issues with my stay. 1. the gym never had any gym towels stocked when I was there working out. This was frustrating especially given that I was there earlier in the day to work out, when fresh towels would likely be stocked. 2. Our room's thermostat was not working, so we had to switch rooms because the room was too hot to stay in. We paid for a king suite and there were no king rooms left, so we had to switch to a room with two queen beds. Being that we were in town for our wedding, this was a HUGE disappointment. The front desk staff meant well by giving us free breakfast to help rectify the situation, but our stay was still slightly tarnished because of this issue. That said, I would stay here again as long as everything works properly and get the room that I reserved and paid for.

We liked the location. Unfortunately an elevator was not working so we had limited options for a room, however we were put in a very nice room on the 3rd floor.
