I loved the feel of this hotel. From the start the valet was very nice and then the front desk operator was incredible. He showed me around the amenities and gave me local recommendations. Room was big, bathroom shower had good pressure and good smelling shampoo and soaps. AC was extremely cold. Continental Breakfast was better than average. Best things were a retro arcade game, pool table and sports on TV with a 24 hour bar and grab and go eatery. This place gets 6 Stars when you add in the price. Thanks
