Hotel is so much nicer than a 3 star should be. Breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I've had included with a room. As well, the happy hour is a nice touch and the snacks and beer were great. Amazing gym and amenities. Only complaint is that I booked a king room and was given a 2 bed room when I checked in.
