It served a purpose for 1 night but it would be a nightmare staying longer.
Pros:

Staff who greeted us was very nice and friendly. 2 free drinks were a nice gesture

Cons:

Very noisy with hotel guests leaving, doors slamming etc. Beds were small and uncomfortable. Very poor value at $300 a night. Hard to get parking close.
