    The eggs were runny at breakfast and there was a constant race for seating during the breakfast hours, and a constant wait for elevators. While the on-site parking was super convenient, the charge seemed excessive. Check in (and check out, and a brief stop to the lobby convenience rack for forgotten toothpaste) took a long time as there was only one person working the front desk.

    Breakfast was delicious, and the on-site parking was convenient. I liked the idea of the pool - which is why I booked the property - but never actually wound up going to the pool. The suite was comfortable, the beds were nice, and a double bed room which I prebooked was actually available, which hasn't always been the case at all properties. The location was great, very close to downtown and the theater district.

    I was inexplicably charged a deposit on top of the room rate and was charged immediately on check in. There was an issue with the reservation because I booked through a 3rd party instead of directly. Front desk staff seem stressed and not friendly

    Location, included breakfast, rooms have living area which was spacious. Beds are comfortable and room darkening window treatments were helpful for a good nights sleep. Support staff—those at breakfast —were especially friendly and helpful

    Friday December 6th it took 1 hour to check in because the line was so long. Even though I had a digital key still had to stand in line to check in. What is the sense of having a digital key then. There's got to be a better way, the lines are way too long ridiculous amount of time to stand in line.

    The breakfast very good.

    Just a couple of things to note, the cocktail line for the free drinks was way to long, not sure if it was just because it was the weekend. It would be more appealing and relaxing if they were able to have more than one bartender preparing the drinks so there wouldn't be such a long line. Also, it would have been nice to also have coffee, tea or hot chocolate available during the cocktail time since not everyone drinks alcohol. And lastly, the elevators were a bit over crowded during breakfast hours, it was impossible to get on one, so the tip is you have to take it up to go down or down to go up -otherwise you'll never get in.

    This is a beautiful hotel with excellent location, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to see. The atrium in the center is really nice with lots of sitting areas. Breakfast was great, they had almost everything to pick from, hot eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, fruits, oatmeal etc. and there were plenty of tables at the atrium. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. The bathroom had body wash, shampoo and conditioner wall pumps which was nice. The staff was friendly.
