Our “city view” looked straight into another hotel room across, do yourself a favor and spend the extra $30 for a different view. Couldn’t open our blinds or stand on our balcony without onlookers looking into Toilet was dirty and showers had hair in them. Wanted to charge us $30 extra for an early check in (1.5 hrs earlier) Pool gets barely any sun, looks straight into lobby. Parking is pricey at $30 a night. Location is good, 10-35 min walk to everything or $13 Lyft. Coffee machine in lobby made great coffee. Didn’t feel like it was worth the price we paid. Just an ok trip.
