It was nice but could be better.
Pros:

It is in a great location, room was comfortable, and the bar and games downstairs were nice.

Cons:

They only offered to clean my room one time during the week of our stay and that was the late afternoon the day before checkout and we even said something about it a couple days before to housekeeping. The fridge smelled like something died in it, and the tv was out for 2 days of our stay. Also there is no shuttle.

Pros:

Beds were comfortable

Cons:

We were above the bar and could hear everything all night long. Also the bathroom in our room was terrible, little privacy and zero noise buffering. It was not a great set up so between that and being above the lobby really made the experience bad.

Pros:

Very overpriced…almost $500 for a Friday night. Stayed 2 nights …the first night was next to a building site as I was awoken at 7am by construction workers.
Got little sleep on Saturday night with noisy guests making their way to their rooms. Has the potential to be a nice hotel but could not recommend.
