"Cool update of a historic hotel. Good bar but no restaurant (but a great Mexican place, Malo, two blocks away). Very Arty; nice people and good service. Only negative is the hotel does not have its own parking; you have to park in the public ramp across the street."

"We loved staying at the Surety for a special occasion. Very clean, modern, and classy."

"The waterpark was the highlight. Just beware of hours it's open. Overall happy with stay, but service was weak and whole facility was a bit tired feeling. Our bathroom had a loose floor tile, for example. Upon check in, the lady told me I missed initializing the line by the room number, which was blank and she never told me. I didn't sign until she handed me my room key. No friendly welcome, no direction to room or elevators, pool closed 10 minutes early, no coffee in lobby (breakfast only). Multiple times no one was present at front desk--hiding in back room. No newspapers. Music from pool area extremely loud in rooms, so beware if poolside room and you go to bed early. No yogurt or toast at breakfast even. Breakfast seemed late (7am) but that was weekend, so maybe that's normal. But yes, it worked out fine for my needs and I would stay again if price is reasonable. Just lots of areas of improvement."
