Found a great deal directly off the website (flash sale) about a month in advance, and boy am I glad we went with this hotel. The environment was very welcoming, the place was clean and modern looking, a small seating area in the lobby with a fake fireplace, wine bottle display, and other quirky décor. There were no homeless people camping outside the entrance, and it looked pretty well-kept from outside as well. The staff was extremely friendly, upgraded us to a king size bed upon arrival, and explained where to find anything we might need, ie. which floor to get ice, etc.
The room was on the smaller size, but not claustrophobic, it was bigger than just the bed, had a desk with a chair and an ottoman type piece of furniture, a mini fridge, side tables, fluffy pillows, comfy and clean bedding, decent sized flatscreen TV, closet and medium sized bathroom, simple but had what you would need, including room service if you want food from the hotel. The shower head was wide, and there were big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash inside the shower area. They also provided bar soap, in case you don't bring your own loofah.
The room was overall clean and presentable, no complaints. The temperature control was basically a window AC (with both cooling and heating option), not the most updated unit, but it worked so that's all that really mattered to me, especially because it was an unusually hot winter day (just happened to be summer weather in the city in Febuary).
I wouldn't park here, as it's super expensive (valet $65), but it's easy to find much cheaper parking within a 5-minute walk through Spothero reservations.
I loved this place because the of the central location walking distance to a venue we were visiting during our stay, and of course, gotta love the 12noon checkout time (since I'm not a morning person)!
