The location is close to the plaza. Our suite was only warm in the sitting room. The bathroom and bedroom were cold because they didn’t have heaters. When we arrived we had two bottles of water, two breakfast bars, and 6 kcups for our coffee. After they did room service they only replenished the kcups. We stayed 2 nights and paid the same amount each night so didn’t think it was asking too much for 2 waters and 2 breakfast bars. The towels were small and thin. No complimentary breakfast.

Not a Good Value.

Had not been here in 41 years, traffic much worse. Hotel leaves much to be desired. Room has almost no chairs and is about IBIS sized. Restaurant a JOKE. It is "western themed" inside but a Chinese restaurant. Tried to have breakfast, saw their POOR buffet with no personnel inside, left and drove 15 minutes to Denny's which was a good move. No elevator, stairs are metal and steep. Rained plus hail and dangerouse going up and down those stairs.
