The staff was super friendly, everything from check-in, passing staff in the elevators, and halls, to check-out. Also, this is literally next door to DPAC, so if you are going to a show there, extremely convenient!

POOR QUALITY FOR THE HIGH PRICE! DO NOT STAY HERE!
The hotel is under construction so the elevator and the hallways have a strong sulfur odor. For the price of this hotel, they Penny pinch for every additional cent. I booked the stay with breakfast included but that ONLY meant that I would have a $10 credit towards breakfast, not allowing for anything other than a wrap or sandwich that they warm in the oven and then hand to you over a counter but advertise as a “hot” breakfast. The wrap was pre frozen so when I bit into it, the middle was still cold. There are no microwaves in the room so rewarming it was not an option. If I had the chance to do it over, I WOULD NOT stay here again. I would book a 2 star hotel somewhere close by, as it would have been the same quality but for a lower price.
