SERVICE & CHECKIN -- 👍 great
Free early checkin & uncovered parking is available. The checkin wasn't fast but the representative I worked with was a master of hospitality; warm, polite, & professional.
I was also impressed with Maintenance: the speed at which they serviced our broken mini fridge was surreal.
Job well done on management, customer service, & hospitality!
Free 1hr late checkout by request.
TRANSITIONS -- 👍 great
A wonderfully large lobby that's a pleasure to get lost in. It's exceptionally clean, ornate, & full of dazzling design details.
Elevators are just as artsy with a gold shimmer & stone flooring-- fast too!
Recently renovated with a relaxed vibe & contemporary design. We tried the 1BR suite & studio suite. The 1BR suite has a more functional & intuitive layout, so I recommend booking that configuration if possible.
The Mountain View premium is also worth it-- the higher the floor, the better!
The use of floating shelves is clever & elevates (no pun intended) the room. The mobile workspace was another standout, allowing me to code against the amazing mountain backdrop.
Cons: too few waste receptacles for the room dimensions; adjustable work desk wasn't sturdy; windows could be cleaner to maximize the Mountain View.
BED [Queen, King] -- 👍 great
The double Queen configuration had perfect firmness with nicely dense pillows. The sheets weren't noteworthy (semi-soft, average quality) but they were clean & fresh.
Our king mattress was also satisfactory in the 1BR.
Reading lights in the headboard were a convenient surprise.
BATH -- 👍 good
Interesting layouts here but the flow leaves much to be desired. Transitioning from wash room activities in the studio suite is clunky. It's better in the bedroom suite, but neither are optimal. The light switch locations are also forgettable. Still, it's a very functional & spacious bathroom with high cleaning standards.
Aveda bath products are pre-stocked in the showers, with plenty of toiletries for self-care.
The bathrobe from T-y group presidential collection, is my favorite for 2023! Words can't describe how soft, luxe, & enjoyable these are. The slippers were also very comfortable for being OSFA.
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- 👍 good
Team Samsung. 42" HD LCD TVs on swivel base with status quo Marriott set top box & universal remote. A Bluetooth speaker was also available in the room 🎶.
Orientation & location of the TV in studio suites is a pain point. They'd benefit from a premium mount here since the base is glued down, limiting its rotation.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👍 good
The complimentary WiFi offering was mediocre. We ended up using hotspots a lot here; Verizon service was strong & consistent.

FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 great
DoorDash friendly, with a bar & restaurant onsite.
There's also a snack shop with instant food, beverages, & a microwave.
The rooms have your typical mini coffee bar & a medium mini fridge.
NOISE -- 👍 ok
Relatively quiet & peaceful but noise leaks in from the hallway terribly. This can be stressful in the studio suite where the double bed is a step from the door. AC is also loud.
LOCATION -- 👍 great
Proximity to restaurants, stores, and museums couldn't be more convenient and in abundant! Amazing culture, people, and walkability.
Safe enough to jog a few miles and explore.
