Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the excellent location of the hotel, which is close to downtown and various attractions. Many praised the helpfulness of the staff, particularly the valet and restaurant teams. However, there were significant complaints about the cleanliness of the rooms, uncomfortable bedding, and issues with service, including long waits and incorrect room assignments. Overall, while the location and some staff members received positive feedback, the hotel needs to address its cleanliness and service quality.
