Private party?!
The hotel is great. We've stayed there before, but last night there was a private party that seemed to be out of control. I had to yell to the desk clerk to check us in. They had to yell back for us to hear them. The party guests were everywhere in the lobby, even blocking the pathway to the elevators. We were on the third floor and you could hear the noise from the party the whole way up to the third floor. We came there to relax, but the atmosphere on the first floor was far from the peaceful experience we had in the past.

Just my style
A very beautiful and stylish hotel conveniently located by the highway. This is one of the few hotels where the pictures don’t even do it justice. The lobby and rooms were bigger than expected. One small thing was it looked like the shower wasn’t cleaned as well as I should have been. I noticed some residue in the corners. Other than that, I just love Indigo Hotels, they never disappoint.

This is a comfortable hotel with large rooms. The staff was helpful, and check in was smooth. There is not much to walk to in the area, but there is a very nice on site restaurant and bar. I'd stay here again!

be aware the room type you choose
We booked a double queen bedroom plus a sofa bed. The room quality (2nd floor) is good, except we were not told there was a party downstairs until bedtime. The room was changed after my argument, but we were downgraded to a smaller room on the 5th floor, plus breakfast tickets. We did not notice that we would sleep next to a noisy air conditioner. The noise in the room from the room and the noise from the traffic outside the room left us with a negative experience in this hotel. The worst part was the senior lady's attitude to my request when I complained about the noise and discussed possibly changing back to the original room at 11:30 pm. She refused for irrelevant reasons that irritated me. The next morning, this room had a burning smell; security and a technician arrived and arranged for a room change before we checked out. Anyway, we felt nice about the cleanness of the room and the male staff's friendly attitude. We felt fair for the breakfast tickets as compensation for the party night but felt negative about the front desk ladies' attitudes and the noise within (the air conditioner) and from outside (too close to the road).
