Dinner and drinks in the bar were great. The continental breakfast was not. We walked to breakfast each day. Staff were super sweet, s’mores in the evening looked like fun but we had other plans. This was a great location to walk to the Keller for a Broadway show and so many great restaurants near by. Perfect staycation for us!

Great check in, convenient parking (right under the building), friendly and helpful staff. Ok continental breakfast fare. Arcade games, a room of stuff to check out and use—I thought about grabbing the guitar. Only issues were a very slow draining sink and a toilet that wouldn’t flush unless you monkeyed around with the tank innards. I mentioned this and they kindly offered to waive my “amenity fee” which had been included in the Expedia package price. Overall a nice experience. The room was otherwise great with a comfy bed. Would stay again!
