Walls are paper thin but you can’t hear outside which is great but you will hear your fellow guests. Food is good but unfortunately the room was gross. Had finger prints in glasses. The bathroom had hair in the shower. And the glass of the window had something sprayed on it. Won’t be back

Not a luxury hotel. Trying to be. Fried food smells in the hallways, average linens. Old interior in the rooms. Parking is 40.00 a night with the hotel discount. Forgot to mention, that is across the street. It’s a good location for walking to the miracle mile, and restaurants.
