Good Location

It was a decent hotel, good location, walkable to a lot of the things we wanted to do. Beds weren’t that comfortable, we all had backaches. It would be nice to have more blankets since it was cold. The heater didn’t work on auto mode. So either you keep heater on all day/nite or leave it off. Need to do more cleaning behind the beds headboard. Room walls are thin, we could hear people up late at nite. Since they don’t have room service, would be nice to have a small microwave in the room to reheat food from other locations. Front desk was friendly and fast efficient.

6/10 Good

Hotel claims to be new but it's a remodel. Room was large. Bed was very stiff and the worst part was lack of hot water. We got over the fact you have to take too elevators to get to your room. All though it was secure the parking lot across the street. Overall it was okay. Location is it's positive. Centrally located but tucked away.

The wind city

Front desk were professional, but I don’t agree when they decided to charge extra $200.00 cause saying if people make some damage in the room, very unfair. Maybe next time I will ask before I’m doing my reservation to any hotel , water in the sink always cold never turned warm. Thanks
