Nice place overall. I like the breakfast area. Wireless chargers and a place to be outside your room. Very busy with teams and groups. Over crowed pool weekend and week days. Dumpster overloaded the 4 nights we were there. Rooms newly renovated but missing key elements. Great staff.

None of the tv channels worked, room was very bland and echoey. Elevators were very slow. Staff was nice, breakfast was ok. Could hear all the traffic outside the whole night as windows don't seal shut. Very expensive for what it is, and had to call to get my deposit back.
