    "Overall the hotel was okay for a short stay, not something I would recommend if you plan on being there for a while or spending alot of time in your room." source Travelocity

    "Great hotel, it was worth the small upgrade to get the larger double double room." source Expedia

    "The bedding was nice, and overall we were pleased with the stay, but the hotel at night is slow at checking in (only one person slowly and without much effort addressing the needs of a line of people checking-in), and there is a VERY LOUD nightclub on the same level as the lobby." source Venere
