The cleanliness of the facility was good, the location was good, especially for are traveling reasons, we like that it did have valet parking.. We really liked that it had a rooftop restaurant and bar along with an additional restaurant inside as well.

    “Location is excellent for anything in the convention center. Rooftop breakfast was terrific. Didn't visit the restaurant, but maybe next time. Clean, relatively quiet (there is a public park nearby with regular activity but it doesn't go late). Comfy bed and pillows. AC works fine.”

  • Very good stay only complaint was the valet parking
