The hotel's location was prime, super close to the Expo Center and Convention Center, but unfortunately, the room was not very clean and had a strong smell that seemed poorly covered up. The service was nice overall, even though there were instances of rudeness. The dining experience lacked variety, offering only toast and cereal early in the morning. The hotel's facilities were average.
