Good hotel. Nice and close to the convention center. Ptac filter needs to be cleaned in HVAC unit. Easy access to the park. Close to downtown restaurants.

My only complaints are the terrible water pressure and the seemingly half finished clean up & renovation. No signs saying they are renovating, but missing baseboards, stained carpets, and walls needing repainting.

Picked hotel for closeness to Well Fargo Center. Property is just in need of major updating. Dirty looking walls. Old towels. Tiny elevators. Staff was friendly.

Good place for a short trip, by the way, it would be better if the tub had something to prevent one from slipping since I experienced a fall and I just see how dangerous those types of tubs are.
