The location was great and close to the festivities that we were into

Sharmaine United States of America

The location was great. Walk to most things. We were there to watch the Orioles play the Astros. My son and I had a great time.

Rebecca United States of America

I really liked the room and the valet service. I was also wanting to use the shuttle to get to the concert but I figured it would be full. But overall great.

Guadalupe United States of America

Our reservation included breakfast which was great for my husband, but not enough options for vegetarians/vegans. Egg substitute was offered on the menu but the restaurant did not carry it. We had the Deluxe King room with the extra half bath (tub/sink) not sure why a toilet wasn't added there is a lot of space. Bed and bedding was super comfy and overall room was clean and extra large for 2 people on business I prefer this hotel over the Hyatt 2 blocks away.

Mary United States of America
