Great place to stay as always. Room decor is very cute. This time the sink in the bathroom was very tiny which was a bit inconvenient but overall a very comfortable stay. The new rooftop bar Byrd House is great addition. The view from there is amazing and the place has a great vibe.

We stayed here in the past and enjoyed it, but this last visit was a very different experience. Our room was dirty (white smears on the walls), profanity carved into the kids’ bunk bed, and a general smell and feeling of uncleanliness. We’ll be staying elsewhere in the future.

Nice hotel and good location. No on-site parking but valet parking is available by paying a fee. Loved the breakfast! My room had a terrible noise (like running water) coming from the room next door. Even when I reported this and someone went to verify it, no additional actions were taken.
