I’ll start by saying we checked in late so dining options in the area were limited. The tv in our room did not work and the man at the front desk told me to call the tv service provider myself (at 11pm) to troubleshoot the problem. That didn’t work so we asked to be switched to a different room. We were told that many of the rooms had TVs that didn’t work so he couldn’t guarantee a working tv in the new room. Not something you want to hear when you pay a decent amount for a room.

The front desk staff was very accommodating. They went out of their way to help. With a couple thousand dollars, I think if they updated the lobby it will go a long way with making the aesthetics more appealing.

When I first arrived, the hotel said that I didn't have a reservation. I showed them my Expedia booking info and they accommodated me. I'm not sure what the error was (hotel staff vs hotel system vs expedia) but it worked out for me. The staff that assisted me was very nice and the room was nice. The area outside was pretty loud and I could hear people when they were in the hall, but it wasn't terribly disruptive. Third time staying at this location. Very convenient.
