The location of the hotel was great as it is situated right in the downtown with access to public transportation. The room was big and the bed was very comfortable. There is access to gym, swimming pool and spa which adds extra comfort for frequent travelers who want to stay active.
The room was facing the tram tracks and the sound from outside could be heard inside. Better sound proofing windows would be better.

The location was fantastic and was the main reason I booked this hotel. The rooftop pool was amazing and I spent 2 days relaxing on the cushioned pool chairs. The decor was beautiful in the hotel - Fancy chandeliers and beautiful French style furniture.
The parking garage attendants weren't very helpful. We had money ready to tip but they didn't have a cart for our luggage and he didn't seem very eager to help us get things out of our trunks. Not the best first impression for a place I am spending $450 a night on. Also, the communication between the front desk and the garage related to parking fees wasn't the best. I paid for my daughter's parking fees and they gave her a hard time when she was trying to leave the parking garage. Seems like they need to get a better system so the front desk and garage can communicate more efficiently.

Clean, well appointed. Rooms were roomy and clean. Beds comfortable.
We didn’t stay long so we didn’t experience much.

I liked the location and the old style hotel is very cool but not worth all that money
I cannot believe I had to pay $50 a night to park in THEIR parking structure and also had to pay for wi-fi EACH time I used it and they do NOT even mention it when you are checking in. I think that is really terrible. I will never stay here again. I can find cheaper places that don’t charge for that Shame on booking.com doesn’t even tell you either… the only way you can find it is if you read every policy.They should state there are additional fees for these. Way too much money. Don’t do it.
