7.4/10

I stayed at this hotel and found it to be quite average for the price we paid. The rooms were clean and had a comfortable bed, but being close to the elevator bank meant we could hear people talking loudly in that area. The availability of rollaway beds was convenient, though the bathroom lacked a shower.

My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were spacious and had all the amenities I needed to work on my presentations, but it was a bit too warm even though I set the AC low. The service was amazing, with very efficient staff who were friendly and informative. The location was prime to all amenities and very convenient for both business and leisure trips. The dining experience was very good, filled with a variety of delicious dishes, but it was a little expensive. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
