I really liked that the location was very close to Union Station and other transportation options. The food WAS very good. I also appreciated that Jose checked us in and was SO nice!
The soundproofing between rooms seemed decent. I could hear every little noise from the hallway. I COULDN'T get a good night's sleep because of it. right after checking in, I reached for a paper cup to get some water, only to find it had already been used by the previous guest.

the gym included various equipment. i used three treadmills and two stationary bikes. the on-site restaurant provided a happy hour menu.
The soundproofing from the hallway was not effective. i could hear people talking loudly as they passed by early in the morning. The refrigerator in my room was not working. it took two technician visits to get a working one.

Decent Stay but Some Issues

pricing transparencyunfriendly receptionist
The pricing felt dishonest. I was not happy about extra destination fees. They were in small print. The fees made the total cost higher than what I expected! the receptionist at checkout did not seem friendly at all. There was no service at all.
