Rating 10 - Excellent. 1323 out of 3831 reviews" "
The property needs updating the suite are roomy. The hotel valet service was out which leads to you parking at public unmonitored lots that are very expensive!!!! No security at lot our car was stolen along with a couple we met the day before!!! If hotel had valet like most downtown hotels why we choose downtown hotels this would not have happen!!! Hotel security was unconcerned committed that’s not our lot but this is where hotel recommends parking visitors are being set up for failure
To much noise the hotel was old and the door knob did not work and we got stuck and couldn’t open it up . No breakfast offered and noisy and no channels to watch movies
