Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was "Guest Of The Day" and got upgraded to a suite, which was nice. Plenty of space, great view. Nightlife was a bit noisy on a Saturday but that has more to do with location than hotel. Valet Parking was "sold out" by my arrival at 4 pm but there's some public parking next door for $56 a night.

Mediocre hotel

Hotel was very mid at best. The front desk lady was very rude upon check in. Parking was completely full so we couldn’t park our car on premises. The room was clean and nice but the walls were very thin and you could hear every door slamming. Not to mention the loud guests waking us up at 3am . Overall not the best hotel, probably wouldn’t stay again.

Ok for the price

This was a really great, clean hotel for the price! The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great but it’ll do, again for the price. The staff were hit or miss. Some were amazing and some weren’t great but no one was ever outright rude. For the location and cleanliness, I’d say this hotel is worth it. I only stayed here because I went here for a convention so everything in the area was astronomical.
