I was here for a school conference. I got a discounted rate on the room and a "discounted" rate on parking, which was $20.00 a day. When I checked in, they also held on to $100.00 over the room rate and the taxes. When I called to ask about this, the person who tried to help me sounded as lost as I was and could only tell me that the hotel "holds" $50 bucks per night in case you use the extra things in the hotel. For someone who is on a strict budget, that extra money is factored in to everything, from travel to food.
The rooms are small and not special for the price. Everything in the hotel that you COULD buy is incredibly expensive. There is no microwave in the room, which really isn't that big of a deal, unless you were planning on saving money and cooking your own food.
Overall, the conference space was great and nice. But I would not stay here on vacation or otherwise. I wish I had stayed elsewhere for this conference.
