Awful stay, our two from were next to the elevator and windows facing to the wall for $500+ a room I expected better rooms. Rooms are tiny and hotel misrepresented, there is no bar or game in the hotel it’s just separate restaurant around the corner. The only good thing I can say about this hotel is its location close to everything but for this price you could get much better quality rooms in better hotel. I regret I booked this hotel, do not recommend it look around for better and cheaper options
