Easy to like a hotel that is newly renovated and staffed well. Also a better experience if you maintain a Gold Status or higher with one of their partners. Platinum is better (since the merger) because you receive free access to the Concierge Lounge. This includes a breakfast buffet, coffee, tea, water, sodas and snacks all day, and a small early dinner buffet on weeknights. So worth it to purchase 24-hour access to the lounge! It will allow use of the lounge for one day, and you can bring in one guest with you. Just ask the desk if it's available.
Staff is friendly and helpful; common areas are clean and confortable. Very nice stay.
