valet parking proved helpful because i did not have to navigate the downtown area myself. the location was central enabling quick returns to the room during the day.

i noticed private events occurred on the rooftop every night. i thought the staff attentiveness could improve considering the price point.

The staff was friendly.

I found the rooftop bar too noisy each night, especially because of private events. The gym was smaller than I anticipated. It only had a few machines. The limited equipment made it difficult to get a full workout.
