Hotel itself is fine -- clean, modern, lots of hangout space, comfy couches in the lobby area. Our room (a corner) was large, with a semi-separate lounging/work area. Front desk people were lovely, very helpful
However. A few misses: No door between bedroom area and vanity, one of my pet peeves in lodging design. Worse yet, the light in the vanity is controlled by an automatic motion sensor -- no way I found to turn it off. We were only there for the day (construction at our house), so it wasn't an issue, but I envisioned covering it with a Band-Aid if we had had to stay overnight.
Nice little work desk, but no ethernet connection and the surface was a super-shiny, super-slick marble-ish material where my mouse just slid around helplessly. Note to self: Make sure mouse pad is in computer bag next time I leave home.
No microwave. No way to get hot water for tea, except to run it through the pod-based coffeemaker. Tea-drinkers like my husband Do Not Like coffeee-flavored tea water. Another pet peeve.
Fridge was nice, but small. No way to store tall bottles.
And, although they have signage that says they "proudly serve Starbucks," they had no beverage service at 2PM on a weekday. The hotel did not seem to be very full, so maybe that depends on occupancy, but still....
Knowing all this I would still probably go back if we need...Hotel itself is fine -- clean, modern, lots of hangout space, comfy couches in the lobby area. Our room (a corner) was large, with a semi-separate lounging/work area. Front desk people were lovely, very helpful

Knowing all this I would still probably go back if we need to "camp out" again, but will be more prepared.More
