Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The front desk staff members were friendly and efficient. Immediately following check-in we had to rush off to meet a family member. We called the desk and asked if we could get a different room as ours was quite a distance from the lobby. Bryan was happy to help and when we returned several hours later our room was switched and our suitcase was waiting in our new room.

Disliked: Staff & service
The room was average. There were no garbage bags in any of the cans. There was a hair in the shower. There was no linens bag. The closest ice machine on the 3rd floor didn't work. The staff was just ok I didn't find them overly welcoming and one night walking by the desk after work I heard a story being told of a drunk escapade... The food was mediocre as well. All in all I was not impressed enough to stay again.
