The lighting was not very bright in the room. I needed an outlet to plug in a cpap machine, so had to unplug something else. I was surprised there was no artwork on the walls; it made the room feel bare.

Staff were friendly, as far as the room… meh! The tub/shower was not inviting at all, rust on bottom of tub and grout mold. The room was full of pet dander which means they don’t sanitize after pet visits. The bed was not comfortable at ALL! we had a premium room at that…. Thankfully it was just an overnight stay

Room was clean and comfortable until the heater went out one night. But it was fixed the next day. Apparently, you have to ask for room service although there were no signs about this nor were we told this upon check in. But requests were met in a timely manner once we realized we had to ask. Although luckily, we had written down our requests because when we went to the desk, there was no one there who spoke English. The location was convenient for our event at the convention center and the staff was friendly.

Great location downtown. Usually still reasonably affordable during events. Parking across the street. Building seems kinda dated but I've stayed multiple times and never found it to be unacceptable. Decent bang for your buck when downtown and everywhere else is outrageously priced during high volume events.
