Love the selection for breakfast. Everyone was friendly. Room was nice & very clean.
The fire alarm going off around midnight. Not that I blame the hotel for that part. What I did have a problem with is my handicapped friend who on a good day cannot really do stairs, she has to walk with crutches, was in a room on the 5th floor. If there had truly been a fire, I cannot guarantee we would have gotten out. You may want to check in to how to help assist your guests with being able to evacuate.

Awesome Location - walking distance from everywhere we wanted to go. Hotel amenities are great even though we missed opportunities manager cocktail hour and breakfast due to our schedule. Wi-fi was free of charge, log-in info was provided at check in. Pass by the valet parking charge of $25/day plus tip(s), there is a well lit, clean, secure parking garage directly across the street $1/hour with a $10 maximum per day.
At check-in the room rate was incorrect, when I told him it wasn't right he said the extra amount "was for amenities". I said $270 for amenities? The room we had selected via booking.com was correct in their system just not the price. He didn't appear to be making any effort to get the pricing corrected until I provided a printed copy of my confirmation with the room rate and taxes listed, thankfully I had printed it (just in case).
