Loved the purified water machine on my floor. Hallways were a bit dark and rapey. Furniture could be more comfortable overall. Great location for food choices and starbucks pickup store on same block.

Everything was great but our room was interesting. Our heater was broken, so the room was crazy hot and then we would lower it for the ac to run and then it would reset to heat. So we ended up leaving it but would have to slowly lower the ac and then be cold all night. I did t bother the front desk about it because we had plans to be out of the room and then I didn’t want to wait and deal or move rooms either.
