    Our room was clean and comfortable, although we miss having a microwave. There wasn't any soap in the bathroom, but we always bring extra. Our only real complaint, was that the downstairs bar only opened if the rooftop bar was closed. It would be nice to enjoy a cold beer in the air conditioning, instead of the 100 degrees on the roof.

    We had to leave the next day after requesting the room for another night because the man at the desk just said o Kay & we thought he had set us up for another night and did not. So at 12 when our key quit working we had to leave . Because they didn't have another room for us.

    My only drawback was the parking. I didn’t realize until later that the hotel had sent a message through Expedia explaining that the nearby Fannin Garage offered parking for $30 per day. We ended up paying about $95 total for parking over our two-day stay, when the daily rate would have been about $60 total, a difference of roughly $35. I definitely recommend checking your Expedia messages before arriving so you can plan your parking in advance. Other than the parking confusion, we had a very good experience and enjoyed our stay.

The room smelled so good as well don’t know if they use a scent diffuser through the air system .. Wish the room had a bit more plugs with a bigger tv haha! but that’s okay. Also be prepared to possibly get a view of a concrete wall .. but for the most part staff was great and overall hotel was good!

    The rooftop bar and pool are useless. The “pool” is very small, there is no shade or misters on the patio and the bar was not very well stocked. Also, the bathrooms are dangerously hot. The restaurant was closed, and the lobby bar was only open on Saturday night. We selected this hotel specifically for the amenities so it was a complete waste of money.

    My first room, the door didn’t lock, and there was food in the refrigerator. So I requested a new room where the door locked, but the light above the sink didn’t work and I needed to do my makeup by flashlight. The room didn’t have a rack to uphold luggage so I had to use the ironing board. The room was big, but there was so much empty space that should’ve had more table to be properly utilized. The staff themselves were fantastic, helpful, and quite accommodating with all my needs from the issues with the room.

    Stay was way over priced. There was no water pressure in the bathroom at all. That includes sink and shower. There is no parking without paying $50 for valet or $29 to park yourself. Tv barely worked. You have to figure out which remote does what to operate. Then to top it off after you pay for your room they charge another $150 which takes another week to reimburse. I will not waste my time or money at this place again.

  • Kresha May 2026 · via expedia

    The bed was also uncomfortable, which only made the experience worse. On top of that, parking is $57, and my card was charged twice for it. For the price, I expected a much better experience.

    We did book just a few weeks before and there were many events in town, so I'm sure inventory was low. We ended up in an ada room which was not ideal. The sliding door was a beast and there was no definition between the shower and toilet so the entire space got wet. This also meant for awkward dressing spaces with the bathroom being wet and needing privacy from other family members.

    I reserved two queen beds in August. Without me knowing the hotel did not hold that reservation. Instead, my room came with one king bed and no advance notice was given of this and absolutely nothing was done to rectify this. Per the front desk, "we can check back in the morning to see if something opens. Our keys didn't work to get in the pool. Staff was not rude but they were absolutely no use when fixing the room situation.

However, after attending the baseball game and returning late room was even hotter than when we first got there so upon speaking to staff, they were able to accommodate us and move us and way colder room. Friendly staff, clean environment, will definitely stay there again.
