Some good, some not.

I was traveling for business. Some positives: The breakfast was excellent. The bed was comfortable (except the pillows), and the shower had hot water any time of day. Negatives - the pillows compressed into very hard blocks, they were testing the fire alarms, the elevators were not working the last day, and the stairwells smelled like cigarette smoke. I have stayed at this hotel at least a dozen times in the last 5 years, and this was the least comfortable. Except for the breakfast, which has improved greatly since the last time.

NYE!

We were hired to dj a New Year Eve party at the hotel and decided to book a room for the evening. The room was clean and comfortable. We were able to fit all our equipment in the room after the event which was a plus as we prefer not to leave it in the vehicle overnight. Staff was all kind and extremely helpful.

It is a beautiful hotel. The only reason thing is the surrounding area is maybe a little sketchy, mainly a gas station across the street that didn't feel the most safe but the hotel it's self had security in the evening and felt very safe. Nice pool, bigger pool towels than the tiny towels at most hotels. No free breakfast but nice dining and bar areas where you can purchase breakfast. Food was a bit pricey but I felt the rooms were definitely a great value. Nicer and cheaper than a lot of places I have stayed. Very convenient to walk to the event we were attending! Would definitely stay again!
