Reviews and Ratings
The hotel easily accommodated three adults in the room, but it was quite expensive. The noisy bar on the 4th floor caused disruption at 1:30 a.m.
The hotel is conveniently located with modern and well-designed rooms that offer nice amenities, close to essential shops and perfect for a long weekend getaway. However, the dining options for breakfast were unsatisfactory, and there are restrictions on dining for those under 21 years old after 6:30 pm.
I loved our stay at the hotel, especially because of the large rooms and the Kurig coffee maker. The price was just right, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. However, we did request a bottle opener to be sent up to our room, but it never arrived. Overall, a great stay thanks to the location, price, and room size.
The hotel location is excellent, away from the bustling Miracle Mile but conveniently close to great restaurants. The rooms are decent, although careful planning is needed to avoid noise disruptions. Be wary of additional fees during special events like my daughter's bachelorette party.
