The room was fine, though the shower handle needs repaired, it was incredibly loose. Requested a room close to the elevator, which it was, but that put us on the third floor which meant walking around to the conference elevator which makes the walk (the whole point of being close to the elevator) even longer. Also, exterior signs to the left of the building lead to the lobby doors, which were locked when we arrived. When I called, instead of sending someone to let us in after a very long walk with all our gear in freezing weather, they made us go back and around the other side of the building. Don't have signs to doors that aren't open. The room was clean and comfortable.

The room was clean and the check-in staff was friendly. If you are planning to primarily be out-and-about, this would be a good fit. My main issue was with the reliability of the internet connection. I was there for work and had issues with the wifi going out on both my work laptop and personal laptop when in my room. I was on the top floor, so distance from the router may have been the issue, but when a hotel offers convention spaces and hosts conferences, it is fair to assume that those staying in the rooms will need access to emails, work documents, etc. The hotel was clean and my room was nice, so my rating may change depending on your reason for staying.

The heat in the room didn’t work. I would say that happens but the front desk’s response was: “we get a lot of complaints like this” so they are obviously not on top of fixing it.

The room was clean enough and I like the amenities like the pool, gym, keurig in the room, and the choice of bathroom supplies. There were some updates since I last stayed but they may be more cosmetic. I don’t think the beds were new, they felt old and kind of worn and the outside wasn’t as well kept. I needed something but found out the phone didn’t work and didn’t even have a place to plug in. Kind of unnerving to know that in case of emergency I can’t call the front.
