I traveled for work and the staff was friendly from beginning to end. Each person, from valet to front desk were pleasant to work with. The rooms were not carpeted, and instead had linoleum wood flooring, which I was fine with and honestly preferred. Bathrooms were clean, and the area was easy to walk to and from the events center. I'd stay here again.
