3/5 - Okay
Sheri
If you have ever been to a black sand beach they are black. This one seemed basic grey. Nothing to get excited about.

We loved the atrium restaurant. The building is beautiful and a perfect place to relax after an airport travel journey.

9/10 Wonderful! (471 reviews)
Overall, hotel was pretty nice but with some caveats.
Upon arrival, the door man tried insisting that I looked like I was at the wrong hotel. He kept saying I looked like I was trying to go to the Hilton Garden Inn. Not a great first impression.
Other than that, breakfast was nice, room was nice and I had a suite which had two bathrooms which is something I think more hotels should do.
Late Saturday night , I received a call to my room threatening to charge me $150 for an extra guest. That extra guest was my wife! Seriously unbelievable. The staff the next morning did apologize but I have never had something like this happen before.
Lastly, the parking situation is a bit of a mess if you have your own car - getting in and out is a bit of a disaster that could be heavily improved but not the end of the world.
I'm not sure I would come back or not based on the two negative interactions I had because the rest of the hotel staff was quite friendly and helpful thoroughout the hotel.
