It is the kind of place you book when you can’t get space at the big resort hosting the Conference you are attending. In all fairness it was good value for the money but the neighborhood was icky after dark.

The only complaint I would have is that the gym could use maybe a few free weights. Other than that, our day was excellent. The staff was great. The amenities looked great and the pillows in the bed are awesome.
