Summary: I had a pleasant experience with this hotel, inasmuch as I merely slept there 2 nights and spent all the rest of my time elsewhere. The view out of my window was the rooftop A/C units above another part of the hotel, and the nightclub across the way offered direct line-of-sight into my room, so I kept the curtains drawn most of the time I was there. The room was clean, tidy, and spacious, and check-in/check-out were smooth and stress-free despite being a very busy weekend, from all appearances. The only jarring note was the ambient smell in the lobby & entrance, a peculiar blend of elegant fragrance with a musky scent like body odor, like what I would assume a professional baseball team's locker-room would smell like after a game. It wasn't necessarily off-putting, but it was prevalent and immediately noticeable upon entry from outside or from the elevators.
