Very nice hotel. Clean, updated, but pricey. Not a fan of the very slow elevators and no convenient stairs to use instead.

4/10 Fair

Asked for my credit card after the stay
Had a nice stay. Paid via Hotels.com and had a credit on file for incidentals. A few hours after I left someone who claimed to be from the hotel called and asked for my credit card again. Seemed very shady and I am kinda reluctant to go back.
