Pros:

It was a great spot The staff was great!

Cons:

The beds were a little hard and the water pressure was crap. I have long hair and wouldn't be able to get the soap out. In different areas the carpet was crunchy. One of the elevators was a little sketchy.

Not worth the money. For almost 300.00 for a single night I expected a view with a luxurious bed.
Pros:

Close to the venue we had tickets for

Cons:

The cost was more than what I paid for at the Fairfield Marriott and I received more amenities at no charge. The beds were more comfortable and the rooms were updated and cleaned. Was highly disappointed with the stay since I had high expectations considering I paid 100.00 more for a single night than I did at the Fairfield Marriott.

Great rooms, great staff, made our trip much easier not having to worry about any of it!
Pros:

Very clean, very convenient to nearby events and activities. Staff were extremely friendly. Staff were unable to accommodate a room on the floor we booked, so we got upgraded rooms.

Cons:

Staff were unable to accommodate a room on the floor we booked, so we got upgraded to the highest floor - however it then ended up being right in front of the elevators and it was pretty loud throughout the night. Still slept okay, but not without some disruptions.

A quant room with a quant lobby; fitted with professional and excellent customer service where the value is found in the
Pros:

Good location cool view of Lucas oil stadium pretty central location, they had the park just outside
Great for exploring the city some on our short stay
Guest services was quick almost no wait

Cons:

Not a lot of options inside the hotel for food or drink with a bit of a basic lobby; however your hotel is connected to others with several options, so this really doesn’t matter.
Only true complaint is the elevators were slow and noisy; ended up opting for the stairs when on floor 10 they were that unsettling
