"It is a beautiful modern property. The beds were comfy and the kitchen set-up very helpful. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Always smiling. We did not like the valet parking set up. People staying in a hotel are usually from elsewhere. We need access to our cars. We are already paying for a hotel room. Add the parking fee to your nightly rate. The gentlemen that worked the valet stand were friendly and professional."

"Located by Music Row, lobby is impressive. Food and drinks at the downstairs lounge were great. Room was large, bathroom was huge. Like the slider provided to divide the bathroom from room. Roof top pool was nice, but gets very crowded. Staff didn't replenish the pool towels often, so common to get into an elevator with wet floors. Overall really nice stay, staff for the most part were helpful and easy to stay engaged."
