Nice stay

We chose (price wise) the tower that is currently under renovation so things were a little worse for wear there, but we knew that going in due to their communication. The service was excellent and the lobby is lovely. Highly recommend.
Heather, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Probably wont stay there again due to the fact that the fees were not covered in the hotel price, i had to pay an extra $100 per day and the fees, along with the parking fee got taken out of there, not to mention the floor was so dirty, made under our feet black! That cost too much extra
