Excellent Location but a very basic hotel
Pros:

Location is excellent and the suite size was generously big for 2 guests.

Cons:

Breakfast area was very crowded with sparse seating available, the food selection was repetitive and limited, the elevators were dirty, the suite bathroom door did not close properly, overall cleanliness was a concern.

I wouldn't even consider staying at this hotel again.
Pros:

The only good things about this hotel were the location and the employees tried their best to attend to hotel guests.

Cons:

Cleanliness, cleanliness, cleanliness left a TON to be desired. Elevator size and number of elevators for the size hotel was unacceptable. You could barely fit the luggage carts in the elevator, let alone then have room for barely 2 passengers. You had to wait 5-10 minutes for an elevator. The vanity and shower area (especially) wasn't very clean and smelled like mildew. The furniture in the living area of the suite was old and dirty. The breakfast wasn't very good. The food was very off putting and not appetizing at all.

Overall, we had a good stay, except for the ones I mentioned anove.
Pros:

Great location! Convenient valet parking (for a fee). Very spacious suite (we got the 2 bedroom with full kitchen). Reception staff are nice and accommodating.

Cons:

Sofa bed needs to be updated / changed. My son felt the springs on his back and was not comfortable at all.
Breakfast spread wasn’t that great. Very limited choices and dining room is small.
