Stayed here a year ago and enjoyed it. This year a bit different. Room was really warm and temperature control was a challenge at first. Lost power to the room one morning for about 10 minutes. A bit frustrating as we were in the middle of getting ready to leave for the days games. I will say that having stayed at various hotel chains over the past few years, it’s criminal that the breakfast was offered at $16.00 per person.

The refrigerator in the room did not work. Hotel was fully booked and were not able to have someone replace so we had to throw all our left overs out that we brought back. Power went out in the hotel for aout 5 mins. The room faced the lobby and since the bar is in the lobby and the way the hotel is setup room amplifies in the room and was loud all night.

The room and facility were nice. Quit on the 5th floor. I gave it a 3 because the sheet had a large stain on it, the lighting in the bathroom was poor, there was no microwave or continental breakfast. They did give you a option for a sit down breakfast however.
