I traveled for work and the staff was friendly from beginning to end. Each person, from valet to front desk were pleasant to work with. The rooms were not carpeted, and instead had linoleum wood flooring, which I was fine with and honestly preferred. Bathrooms were clean, and the area was easy to walk to and from the events center. I'd stay here again.

The room as advertised indicated it slept 5. This is false. With the way the photos looked, it appeared the room had a twin sleeper. The room fit 5, but we had to get an air mattress to make it work. The air mattress deflated in the middle of the night. So, if you have 5 people, be prepared to sleep on the floor. Otherwise, property is nice and clean.
