The best characteristic of this hotel is the staff, who are so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The breakfast is great. The rooms are comfortable with good closets and very nice mattresses and pillows. A very special thanks to Darcy and Kathy who welcomed me every morning to breakfast. Their kind and cheerful demeanor really helped to start my day well.

Travelled with family
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We showed up before the 3p.m. check-in. I was told they had no room in their hotel parking lot, but that we could use the parking garage about a block away. That was ok, but be aware there are vagrants sleeping in the skywalk and areas around the elevator. It was somewhat startling to see this multiple times both days. The smell on one occassion was overpowering and I didn’t feel particularly safe taking children thru this. In the suite that I paid well over $500 a night there were pieces of wall paper that were missing and damage in the room. Not what I expected for a suite at that rate.

Nice hotel if you don’t mind price gouging

Overall quality of the hotel was excellent. With the exception of the water pressure and shower door not being able to stay shu. Prices were outrageous for other amenities, such as, parking, vending machine food and drink. A can of Coke cost $5 from their grab and go pantry. It felt like they were taking advantage of their guests by price gouging everything.
