7.8/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
Room was small but adequate. The acoustics are terrible! We were up all night due to guests in the room above us being inconsiderate ALL NIGHT LONG allowing us to get virtually no sleep. The next night the guests were also annoying but primarily due to the insufficient noise barrier. Also, the hotel does not offer ice but we were told to go down the street to the local liquor store! Parking is a nightmare and VERY expensive.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,627 reviews)
Room was spotless. One of the foot ottomans under the recliner had a broken leg. Not a big deal, but a staff should have mentioned it so it could get fixed. Staff was professional and friendly!
