Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel itself is pretty and in a good central spot of downtown. The rooms were clean, the a/c worked well. The staff isn't overly friendly and took a long time to get any sheets for our pull out couch and also the phone in our room wasn't working. The facilities could use some TLC, but overall fine.

The room was very nice, comfy beds and linens, sizeable bathroom with great-smelling hair products. Plenty of lighting. The blackout shades let tons of light escape from the tops so don't expect a dark sleep-in. The elevators look old and need updates.

Our rooms and beds were comfortable and lovely. We had a middle of the night arrival, and the staff member could not connect our Marriott loyalty number to our folio but offered lounge passes as service recovery. Dining option food service was a bit slow, but the staff were lovely. Being able to walk through the tunnels to get to The Egg was wonderful for an evening show.
