The location was perfect for the volleyball tournament we were attending at the Convention Center. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The rooms were clean and very nice. There were added touches that were great. Really loved the valet parking so I didn't have to find parking for the tournament. They were so accommodating. The only draw back was there wasn't really any place to eat in the hotel the restaurant wasn't able to handle the crowd.
