The hotel was a mixed experience for me. The rooms did not meet my expectations, especially considering the price tag of a $700 suite. I was disappointed that they didn't accept Best Western vouchers at this location. On a positive note, the dining had a great breakfast selection despite a slight inconvenience, and the hotel's location was good for my visit.

The service was pleasant overall but had a moment that felt a bit exaggerated. The location was convenient but had some questionable aspects. The dining experience was good, but not exceptional.

The hotel had decently sized rooms with a King Bed that were excellent but felt a bit dated. While the service was not so nice and helpful at times, housekeeping did follow up with an attempt to contact me. The location was good overall but had some questionable moments. Dining choices could have been better. The hotel facilities were just average.
Rooms

The rooms were a little dated but decent in size for three people. The King Bed was excellent, but considering the hotel's size, the rooms felt small.
Service

While the service was not always nice or helpful, housekeeping did make an effort to follow up with me. There was an incident where my briefcase was removed from the room without my permission.
Location

The location was good overall, with quiet and well-lit surroundings. However, there were moments of concern with homeless individuals around. It was convenient for mobility-impaired guests and close to restaurants, but some issues like bathroom flooding were noted.
Dining

The dining experience was mixed; it came with reservation choices but could have been better. The breakfast was just enough to start the day but fell short in quality.

The facilities were average, without standout features or amenities.
