Pros:

Proximity to our event at the mid America center.

Hot breakfast was great and check in/out was very speedy!!!

Parking gets a bit tough and limited door access to the back parking lot on the south wing of the building.

You can hear a lot of noise in the room.

I will not choose this location again.
Pros:

The room was clean and the staff was friendly.

Cons:

I chose this location due to it being connected to the event center. I was very disappointed that the event center doors were locked and we could not pass through. Therefore we had to walk in the cold to get from place to place. At one point we tried to cross from the event center to the hotel. The doors were unlocked to get into the walkway but when they closed they locked behind us. Then our hotel key would not work to unlock the door to the hotel. We were trapped in there!!!! We had to knock on the glass window until someone passed by and let us out!!!!

The bed was very hard.
Pros:

Good service.

Cons:

Walls and ceilings insulation lacking-thus every noise above and next to us so we didn’t get much sleep.
