Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room had a weird smell that never went away. The front desk lady was very friendly and answered all of our questions. The room was advertised as having a morning breakfast-they had nothing but coffee. When I asked the gal about the breakfast and coffee her response was "negative", I'm guessing that meant there will not be any! I would not recommend spending $150 a night to stay here!
