Overall was all right and clean. Great location for being at the DCC event. Just a few things to consider: - the building has poor insulation between rooms and also the exterior, very noisy. - Only 1 elevator was functioning of the 3 and it was busy due to event at the DCC. - Had to request soap and shampoo since the bottles in the shower were empty. Personal was very polite and quick to help when I complained. - Breakfast was just scramble eggs, cereal bars and fruits. That isn’t a “continental breakfast”. No meat and no bread/ pastries/ waffles. - No employees available in the breakfast area. - free hot chocolate at the lobby was a pleasant surprise for a cold day.
