The stay was brief, but enjoyable. I got in very late, and the app didn't work for self-check-in (I've never had it work - sometimes it claims it worked, but always ends up not working and I have to stop by the front desk). The front desk attendant was friendly and helpful, and all was well. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the hotel was quiet - all perfect.

Room was great & good location in the city! Staff are friendly & helpful! Breakfast buffet was well-stocked and the room had a lot of natural light! We were there when it was snowing, and they did a really good job, keeping things clear. We did have to do valet parking; parking ourselves was not an option, but they were really fast and bringing our car around when we needed to leave.
