Great stay! Close to everything. Courteous staff. Comfortable room.
Beautiful Arizona themed decor in our room. The room was spacious and our view of the sunset was amazing. The rooftop bar also had incredible views of the city at night.
Easy check-in, friendly staff. Beautiful bar on rooftop, great bartenders, delicious cocktails. Walkable area for restaurants and shopping, and we had stormy weather so our views of the skyline were incredible!
The guy at the front desk in the evening was awesome: helpful and friendly.
The decor was among the best I’ve seen in a large hotel ever.
Stayed here for three nights with no issues.
The location was great, too. The streetcar is a 3 min walk away, and it’s entirely free (at least for the time being).
