When I first walked into the lobby, there was an overwhelming scent that I assumed was someone's perfume that was just sprayed. Later, as I entered/exited a few more times, I realized that this is the normal fragrance of the lobby. It's enough to give a person a headache if they remain there long enough.

The room was nice and clean, with the bathroom essentials stocked. After the first night of three, we woke up to problems with the water heater. I was there to attend a conference and had to leave before the issues were solved, which I was told were a few hours later. The cold shower was definitely uncomfortable.

The room service menu was pretty disappointing. It had a very limited selection of food and outrageous pricing for it. For a couple eggs, bacon, and toast it was somewhere around $20? Not worth it.

The hotel was good enough for what I was there to do, but I probably wouldn't stay there again or recommend to anyone else. There are so many hotels in the area where other conference attendees stayed that were having better experiences than I had. At least the staff was friendly and attentive/room was nice.
