7.4/10 Good! (1,000 reviews)
The front desk staff could definitely benefit from additional customer service training. While some interactions were fine, one particular staff member—an older woman working the front desk—was consistently unpleasant and took away from the overall experience.
On a positive note, the food options were a highlight. The availability of a buffet was convenient and appreciated, and the manager seemed to make an effort to maintain consistency in that area.
Unfortunately, the service at the front desk overshadowed the positives.

We were only there for one night but would stay there again. Love the lobby/lounge area. Great morning coffee. Easy and efficient valet.
