Unfortunately, my dad became ill and we had to leave a day early. We tried to work with the hotel and get a refund for that, but they emphasize strict policy on cancellation. Very disappointed in that decision because people do have extenuating circumstances.
The pillows used in this hotel and most others are entirely too big, thick, to ever be comfortable -- an instant recipe for a stiff neck and no sleep. For this reason, I always have to pack my own travel pillow, which is very inconvenient, of course.
It was in a good location near convention center and local shops and restaurants. The room was nice and clean. Shower handle was a little funky so it took a while to get right temp.
