We stayed on the 5th floor- nice, loft style room. We were to receive breakfast for 2 daily. Hard pass on that next time!!! We could pick from oatmeal, cinnamon roll and egg bites. They were out of everything. On day 2, there wasn’t even coffee….really bad. Went out to breakfast both days….No upgrade for Bonvoy lifetime silver elite status.

2nd time at this hotel, and still no complaints. Good location, great staff. Room was clean, not a great window view but that's a small concern. Overall very satisfied here and depending on available rates would stay here again in the future. Thanks to the helpful, friendly staff

Too modern looking for my taste. I felt like it was more for the 20-40 range. No issues though - everyone was very nice and professional.
