9.4/10 Exceptional! (871 reviews)
Overall great place to stay, I just wish there was brighter light in the hotel room. There were six different lamps in the room, but even with them all on, the room felt dim. I’m all for mood lighting at times, but I also kinda wished there were just one overhead light to turn on with a switch, instead of five different lamps to switch on. Also doesn’t help that most of the walls are painted dark red, and the carpet is black, making it feel even darker. The room was clean, and the front desk people were helpful. Parking in the garage across the street was kinda a hassle, but it is what it is, and they made it as convenient as it could be.
