8/10 Very Good! (690 reviews)
We booked this hotel for the vicinity to the Dome and for the known chain name. There were several issues during our stay that i think were significant due to the fact the hotel was sold out for the weekend: Parking is only valet and there was only one person working valet, so, could take up to 45min to get the vehicle 3 elevators but only 1 was working We didnt have hot water the first morning we showered The handle on our bathroom drawer was broken, the piece put in the drawer, when we arrived There were dirty dishes from the previous guest in the dishwasher, which caused the room to smell bad

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,626 reviews)
We stayed for 1 night, overall good experience. The pool water was pretty cold and the hot tub is small (max occupancy 2). I was a little disappointed in the continental breakfast. Make your own waffles, cereal, and assorted breads. Wished for a larger selection and ready-made hot foods.
