Good hotel, but basic. Don’t use valet
Pretty basic hotel, got the job done. Room was very small and the valet is basically a scam. You can park in the same lot the valet uses (66 Slater) for 10/n instead of valet at 40/n. When you can ask about prior they only tell you city hall as a alternative which is 20/n with no in and out so I found that pretty funny

Great hotel and great location! The room was nice and clean. Bed was super comfortable!! Check in was quick and easy. My only small facility note was to access the pool you have to walk through the gym which was a bit awkward while working out to have wet ppl walking through. But overall good facilities! Lots of character and would definitely return!!
