I stayed here for my bffs wedding. The staff did an excellent job hosting her event! Clean room! Friendly staff! Great security, my boyfriend arrived very late/early morning and even though the desk knew about his arrival, they still called from the desk phone to my room to check and make sure I really was expecting him, I love to see that the hotel takes the safety of women seriously, makes you feel safe! The only ever so slight inconvenience (and seriously not a big deal) is not having a pick/up drop off area or parking lot on site but the parking garage is less than 1 minute walk across the street (just sucked having to drag your luggage through the snow and slush) - but I assume this would be an issue with the parking lots snow plow contractors. But no issues with the Walper at all, great experience !
