Great price and room, awesome location and love the skywalk to get around in the cold! The room was clean and nice, loved the big bed and the bathroom had all the things you needed no need to travel with shampoo, body wash, or hair dryer if you don’t need to/don’t have a preference!

Staff couldn’t clearly instruct us how to connect to the WiFi. I texted my email to receive my check out paperwork and never received it. Construction blocked the entrance to the hotel but there were no signs to tell you how to valet park.

I've never stayed in a hotel that didn't have a microwave in the room, didn't offer room service from their own restaurant, didn't provide a shuttle to local venues and charged you for a lacking breakfast bar. We will not be staying here again.

Check in was extremely difficult with construction our front and cars taking the entire driveway waiting on Valet. I was also told I ccould get a late check out when I checked in and would just need to come down that morning and then the morning of was told they were not allowing any late checkouts. Then on the elevator was told by another guest they were allowed a 5pm late checkout. The room and hotel were nice and clean.
