8.8/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)
Pros - Bkfst was very good. Great location between the Railyard and the Plaza. Everything within walking distance. The decor of the room was southwestern, very nice. Alvin was the very kind desk attendant. Cons - The first room we went to had a very loud a/c unit and the layout didn't look like what we saw online. We were moved to a different room which was better but we were up all night due to the a/c unit noise. We ended up driving home before we stayed a 2nd night. Heads up there is a daily $30 parking/bkfst buffet fee. They advertised a restaurant/entertainment but we only saw tables in the bkfst area.
