The first room they put us in we had a decent view, but the room stunk like cigarettes and cheap cologne to the point we had to request to be moved. They moved us into a room facing a white brick wall so, that kind of sucked. But I guess I'd rather stare at a wall than be stuck in cigarette smell. The pillows/bed weren't very comfortable, but I will say the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The lobby staff definitely redeemed the hotel experience x10, they were amazing.
