Great hotel and location for a business trip
I stayed overnight on a business trip. I had a few challenges checking in - it seemed their card reader couldn’t read my cards. After that snafu, I found the hotel to be nice, clean and quiet. The hotel was in a good location just a short walk to my meeting. Looking out my window I noticed a little waterfront district, and it was a nice place to spend some time that evening. It was a little tricky to find it, but I had a nice breakfast in the restaurant the next morning. Overall, a great stay.

Get new sliding doors for bathrooms.
We really disliked the glass door for the bathroom. We always leave bathroom light on during the night, but close the door most of the way. Through the tinted glass door our room was then MUCH too bright during the night. Also, mattress was just okay.

Parking disappointment but hotel excellent
Great location to the District. And the hotel was a great place..but for the amount of the hotel there should be a free parking past..for 2 days it was an extra $40 that was unexpected
