I was very pleasantly surprised. Everything is really nice. Great area with lots of convenient shopping and dining options. Staff was great! Breakfast is probably nicest and most varied than I've ever had for a "free breakfast" in a hotel. Room is great, lots of space.

Room was humid and smelled like dirty feet when we arrived. And one of the most subpar free hotel breakfast as we’ve ever had. Chose this over the Hampton because it seemed nicer in pictures but pretty sure I made the wrong decision.
