Lovely spacey hotel rooms but Expedia really needs to add information about the bar and restaurant being closed. This was the one of the main reasons we booked this hotel.
The hotel is amazing, the staff is amazing. Unfortunately on the first morning of our stay there was an emergency and they shut the water off…. We were in the middle of getting ready, finished up by using water bottles. The water did not come back on until 5 pm. We couldn’t use toilet or showers. Now this is no fault of hotel! The property is amazing 100% would stay again. Very close to ball park and highly recommend Morton’s steakhouse!!!!
Overall great! Very friendly staff, comfortable, and clean. Only complaints were the shower handle was broken and took a while to get the correct water temp and figure out how to work it. There was a hair wad in the shower drain. Not terrible but just not pleasant to see.
This is the second rime we've stayed and we loved it the first time so we rebooked. Overall one of the best we've stayed at, from the room, to the staff. This is truly what the hospitality industry should be.
I was staying there with my mother and the stay was Great. Forest and Victor went above and beyond to accommodate us . All staff was great . The bartender was nice she was very hospitable . Property is clean we enjoyed our stay .
We were stuck for 2 nights with no luggage due to airline cancellations. The staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable and make sure we had what we needed!!
We got in quickly. We were within walking distance from the Hobby Center for the PA. The room was very nice, very comfortable, and quiet. The bartender was very nice, and we enjoyed visiting with her.
Bed was horrible. My back began aching at 3 am. Then when I got up at6 a.m a mentally ill person was screaming right outside the hotel and kept screaming until 7:45. Staff was very nice.
Really like the staff. Very welcoming and helpful. LOVED our room. We had a Jr Suite with 2 bathrooms. Enjoyed our stay. The only issue was the hallway leading to our room smelled like animal urine. It was really strong and unpleasant. Only reason we didnt give it 5 stars. Everything else wqs good.
The overall appearance did not match the photo layout on the website. It was extremely misleading. The elevators were small, the rooms were small, mattress extremely uncomfortable. The only good thing about my stay was the staff and food. The staff was amazing the moved like a well oiled machine ...I shared my concerns with the general manager and he advised that I reach out to your company with my concerns. The renovation were in process and it spoiled my entire visit. i did not see the notice pertaining to that on the website. At this point I want a FULL refund, due to the website being misleading.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel itself was nice but heavily worn. Very little interaction with staff but any were positive. The area in is located is terrible! The hotel charges an exorbitant amount per calendar day to park your car so guests park themselves and fear for their lives going to and from their cars. The area has a lot of homeless and void of any other visitors/residents. We didn’t search well before booking and will not return to that area because of this. We had food delivered and did not venture out not knowing the area.

the staff was wonderful and very welcoming. the bed was really nice, and i liked the natural lighting the rooms offered. however, for the price, and lack of self parking i found some od the accomodations to be lacking and outdated. for example, the tv was borderline retro. the lack of a mini fridge was a bit annoying. i understand this is to encourage using the restaurant in the hotel, but i wanted to come back to cold water after a night out lol.
small annoyances for a relatively chill stay. i thought it was fun, but don't think we will be returning due to price and parking alone.
Do your homework before booking; not as advertised
Room was very small for the price. Clean but rather cramped for two people.
Front desk personnel were polite and helpful.
The Pearl restaurant is nothing but an average hotel bar at best. Understaffed and unable to keep up with orders. No seafood as advertised about The Pearl restaurant on the website. Simply bar food (burgers). After receiving menus, bartender never came back to the table. We finally walked out. Fortunately there are some good restaurants within walking distance.
The so called free breakfast in the Pearl breakfast area was nowhere to be found when we left at 9am Saturday morning. So again we just left.
I had what I believe to be realistic expectations for a $300/room in a hotel that advertises a sit down restaurant and free breakfast. I expected a room that was somewhat larger than the cramped one I received. Check with the property prior to booking to make sure you get what they’re advertising.
