The first room had helicoper landing sound like from the roof top. They replaced with more quieter room but looking for quiet room was an effort and issue. Breakfast is just a unedible. Very cheap ingridients breakfasst for the price of good restaurant. Parking is too small for the capacity. Nice building but it has many broken AC features on the floors. Unhealthy humming noises on 4th floor by elevator.

The hotel is very modern and the room was spacious, clean, and had a nice view of the mountains. However, when booking through Expedia I was charged the nightly room rate and a room deposit. When I checked into the hotel, I was charged a second time for the room, and again for the room deposit. It has been a nightmare trying to get this billing issue resolved. Being charged $655 for a one night stay is ridiculous. I probably wouldn't stay again due to this issue.

Staff were friendly and the hotel was convenient. The only challenge was the limited parking. You may not find a space, even if you want to pay for parking. Metered parking and surrounding lots won't let you prepay so you have to go at 8am to pay for the day. (parking is free overnight).

I paid for my two night stay through Expedia before arriving. When I checked in I was asked to pay an incidental fee on my card for $100. The transaction for $100 went through. I got my key and while in the elevator heading up to my room I get a notification that the front desk had charged the card I used for the incidental fee for the entire two night stay. This was done in its own transaction and not linked to the $100 incidental fee. I immediately go to the desk. They said it was an accident and the charge was reversed. Guess what? I still have nearly $500 pending out of my bank account that I can’t use because of this. My bank told me it would take up to 30 business days for the money to go back into my account. I’m so pissed! That’s a lot of money! It ruined my entire stay. I was so angry the whole time bc I needed that $500 while I was there. The worst!
