Perfect for Young Family Trip!
This was a near-perfect stay for my two young boys and I. We loved the pool table and the pool the most, and our room was exactly what we needed. The only difficult thing was navigating street parking since there is not a parking lot on site.

My first night someone opened my door at 4:30 am and then the front desk called my room shortly after to see if anyone was staying in my room with me. It's a huge safety concern and the manager only offered to move me to a different hotel and advised that was a "learning experience". The parking garage was not working properly and I had to contact someone everytime I left. I've stayed here 3 times this year alone and have never had a poor experience but this trip was not good at all. Will not stay there again.

I was apprehensive ahead of my trip due to needing to find parking in an unfamiliar area, but I was pleasantly surprised how easy and inexpensive street parking actually was. The staff were all very friendly. The rooms were clean and the shower had ample hot water and water pressure. Overall a great stay.

This was a very cool minimalist room that was super comfortable and perfect for our short stay. Nice bar and seating areas that lots of people used to socialize. Nice patio area. Didn't see kids which meant adults could use the pool! Lbvs.

The hotel was a good location and they were able to check me in very early that day since my flight got in so early! My only complaint is because the floors are not carpeted, I could hear the people above me every time they walked. And it kept me up/woke me up very early in the morning. I had earplugs which helped, but the stomping is definitely hard to tune out.

The rooms were nice and clean. The front desk staff was really nice. The housekeeping was mediocre. The fitness facility was well-equipped. The noise, however, was nuts. We stayed on the second floor and there was a constant volume of music that came from the lobby area. It made it really difficult to sleep. I just can't stay there again for this reason.
