Hotel was definitely not worth the cost. Maybe the price was boosted higher because of the Chris Brown concert? Front desk lady ( don’t remember her name) was awesome.

I can’t eat but breakfast looked good and I’d have enjoyed taking a giant bite of sausage and a large swig of orange juice. What I didn’t like … when booking the room , I asked to be close to the elevator. Of course, I was the furthest away from the elevator one could possibly be. Go Figure.

Overall experience was “mid”

The room was clean. The door to the room was crooked, hard to shut. There is only one ice machine in the hotel that is on the sixth floor. Elevators were slow. The front desk crew could have been friendlier. The breakfast crew were super nice.
