"Mixed"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
I wish I had been informed that the hotel was under extensive renovation. There was no lobby, etc I reserved a room with two beds and got one. There were ingredients for breakfast tacos but no tortillas. There were many, many small things that did not justify a $300 room. The BEST part was the woman at the front desk…professional, friendly and helpful.
