The hotel stay was perfect. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was perfect - we needed to be near the convention center and we were just 5 minutes away. Would stay here again.
Great location and a very clean and comfortable room. The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to help me.

I wish the room was cleaner, there was no remote control for tv, the water in the bathroom was barely warm, the blankets were extremely thin, so we had to heat the room better. However, the staff were polite! The breakfast was fine, too.
Perfectly located and the staff is amazing. I can’t tell you enough how important the front desk staff is, and this staff was so nice and accommodating. We’ve stayed at other hotels for more money and a famous name, and have been disappointed by their lack of customer service. This hotel is tier 1. Highly recommend! Great staff, thank you!
