Breakfast was good, though a little slow on busy mornings. Room was comfortable and climate control worked well.

Cons:

I don't like being up-charged for everything - breakfast, parking, etc. Access to parking was also inconvenient.

I enjoyed the hotel but the parking and the ally you have to walk to park your car is not safe.
Pros:

Hotel very clean. The room was nice.

Cons:

I did not like the parking area. You have to walk down an ally. There is garbage dumpster and just strangers hanging in the ally. Just not safe. Then you have to park in a parking garage.
