Business traveller
Disliked: Amenities
Too expensive for what it is. I had a last minute interview and flew down for the night. Facilities very average for the price and could not accommodate a late check out so I left to go to airport to try for an earlier flight. Definitely not worth $350 a night. The Bolton is far superior. Average at best
