The guest experience

8.1out of 10
1124 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Excellent location (close to venues, restaurants, ballpark, Skyway access)
  • Friendly and professional staff (valet, front desk, restaurant/bartender)
  • Good on-site restaurant and bar
  • Clean and comfortable rooms reported by several guests
  • Convenient for events and walking to attractions

Worth knowing — Perceived overpriced / poor value for money · No pool and no in-room microwaves · Paid parking and premium streaming wifi fees · Occasional room issues: plumbing, alarms, external light, smells, water on bathroom floor · Construction noise and broken amenities (e.g., ice machine) · At least one report of poor follow-through on compensation/refund

How guests scored the stay

  • Overall Experience9.6

    Overall impressions lean positive: many guests described great or enjoyable stays, praising location, staff and appearance; however, there are a few significant negative experiences (room substitutions, refunds, noise) that temper the score.

  • Location9.5

    Consistently strong: repeatedly cited as convenient for venues, restaurants, ballpark and conference access (Skyway). Frequent positive mentions make this a top strength.

  • Service9.2

    Generally praised: many guests called staff friendly, professional and helpful (valet team, bartender, restaurant staff). A notable complaint about poor follow-through/compensation for a room change reduces the score slightly.

  • Food and Beverage9.0

    Generally positive for restaurant and bar service (restaurant repeatedly praised, bartender noted as great and helpful credits), but the breakfast buffet received specific criticism for poor quality at a high price.

  • Cleanliness7.2

    Mixed feedback: several guests described rooms as clean and the property as beautiful, but multiple reports of odd smells, standing water on the bathroom floor and one report of a 'disgusting' room lower the score.

  • Room Quality7.0

    Mixed: comfortable beds and some unique room elements reported, but issues include plumbing-related room changes, alarms from garage, external light intrusion, outdated floors/rooms and occasional noise.

    “Bed was cozy, clean, decent food, great easy location to convention center, if you didn’t wanna go outside, you probably didn’t have to. I only went outside once the whole time I was there because everything connects with the skywalk.”
