Stayed here and attended a conference down the street. The hotel was in the process of painting and/or renovation both inside and outside making our stay a little less than perfect. However; the hotel staff were extremely nice and seemed to genuinely care their guests. The cleaning staff worked quickly and were very pleasant. Although our room had a nice... More

The staff was friendly, the hotel was in the perfect location for our trip. My girlfriend and I asked for a higher floor and ended up on the 8th floor. The room was clean and spacious I suggest the king executive view for the best room for the money. I would stay here again.
