4/10 Fair

Great room / less than ideal communication
The communication was horrible. I had no clue that this was different than a traditional hotel. It would be nice if the app let us know to keep an eye out for check in instructions to avoid issues getting into ou room. Also, the bluetooth/app key did not work so we had to obtain a physical key. Also, there were no details about parking and we were blindsided with a $40 per car charge.

2/10 Poor

First time staying at a contactless hotel. No signs on how to check in. The receptionist was the only one helpful. Management gave limited information about the hotel. Parking was a nightmare. Apparently the parking garage door was broken and had to use the residential side of the garage, hotel card key didn't work on the reader, and had to tail gate in through the door to get. Given a parking pass but the space was already occupied by another car. Had to visit the manager's office three times t get the parking situation fixed, mine you it took an hour to get it resolved. Missed out dinner reservations because of it. Will not recommend this hotel to anyone unless their manager understands that they need update their customers on situations out their control to make their stay comfortable.

Great place! So spacious! The only downfall is getting to the reception. We had to ask a few times & be directed to the correct floor.
