Decent stay for the money

It was a decent stay. The room would not cool down too well, despite setting the AC to 64. It still felt stuffy.

Do not recommend

Do not stay! Very dirty, horrible service at the hotel and coffee shop. Our water was very messed up with scalding hot water in both sink and shower. We had no blanket on our bed, they said they were out and gave us two sheets. I can look past it being outdated but it was very dirty, in both the hotel and convention area. Not worth $200 a night!!
