8/10 Good

"Stayed here for five days during a Business event. The hotel is fine. Rooms are acceptable and the staff was generally courteous. There are not many dining options and the property is a weird combination of hotel services with random retail outlets in some of the spaces. Also not helped by a 30 minute wait to check in because they are installing new reservations management systems. Overall, the property got the job done, but I likely would look elsewhere next time."
