SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- Checkin speed here deserves an applause! No predatory fees for checking in early either 🙌
Parking runs $17 -- it is what it is.
I was impressed by how grand the lobby was; a very unassuming, yet impeccably clean lounge area. Really good vibes.
Elevators were spotless too. Trash pickup in the huge halls was lagging, but still a positive impression at this point.
ROOM (walkthrough) -- Hit with an odor upon entry, this didn't bode well 🥲.
The dimensions were good though, with sufficient storage, and creative wallpaper visuals. Lighting wasn't bad either.
This was one of the "city" view rooms, which actually meant: prison bar windows facing the highway 🤦♂️, quite misleading.
Book a lake view room if this matters to you.
Walls weren't terribly thin, but external sounds are very noticeable.
BED -- The best part!
I slept on a Fantastic bed (older Simmons beauty rest model). Linens felt premium, pillow build was supportive, & everything was clean.
BATH -- Medium-small split bath setup.
I did not care for the design of this shower: the dreaded half-glass pane walkin. It's a frustrating shower experience unless you enjoy showering in a box. The quality of towels was redeeming at least.
The vanity was also great, along with the remaining installations.
TV -- No redeeming qualities about this TV solution: audio clarity, volume levels, picture quality, resolution.... It's a shame bc they provide DirectTV channels.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- Incredible performance!
More than adequate for work, entertainment, & multitasking.

FOOD & DRINK -- DoorDash friendly.
Starbucks is in walking distance, just seconds away. There's plenty to eat & drink on site as well, offering convenience foods for purchase, a bar, & eatery. LOTS of options if you're feeling lazy or on staycation.
FYI The mini-fridge gets dreadfully noisy when if you want things cold.
RATING & RECOMMENDATION
Presentation is really strong & it's a beautiful property. The atmosphere was calming & the consistency in hospitality was impressive.
The undesirable parts were tolerable & could be easily improved. Still a very competitive option.
I could see myself staying here again & would recommend it.
4/5 ⭐️
