Not hassle free
They didn't have the room I booked. Waited 25 minutes to get upgraded room. It was on 2nd floor directly above the entrance, so....constant noise. Parking was horrible for someone who gets in late from events. 2 years running had to struggle to get a spot . On checkout, told me they don't print receipts through 3rd party bookings. I said you did last year, she pushes one button and out pops a receipt.

Really cool room. Clean and nice. It wasn't quiet at night though. We were at the end of the hall farthest away from the elevator so I have no idea what we were hearing. The hot tub also wasn't hot, though it warmed up as we had the jets on, but wasn't warm enough. Was impressed it was functional though as most hotels aren't.

2/10 Poor

The rating is for the check in experience - which seems like is more of an Expedia issue. Apparently my card was declined because of the expiration date. This caused rez to be cancelled. I was never notified. Thank goodness they had a room available but I had to pay more. This is very frustrating as I made this rez months ago. I have exceptional credit. Ridiculous . What an awful process and has made me question using Expedia in future. I have quite a few upcoming reservations that I will be canceling and going direct.

Overall, this was a very clean and pretty hotel. Very modern and updated. Biggest complaint was that the walls/floors are not sound proof. We were woken up by people a floor above us walking back and forth in their room because the beautiful hard floors do not lend themselves to the best choice for quiet rooms.
