8.4/10 Very Good! (782 reviews)
Usually have had good experience here (I’ve stayed multiple times), but this stay had flaws. Broken shade so sun blazed in window at 6am, very cold and temperature wouldn’t adjust, terrible water adjustment in shower, broken tiles in shower, generally a bit grubby. Love this location, but maybe needs some attention. Definitely loud street noise until early am when your windows face the downtown area walkway.

Hotel is pretty clean. Halls do smell like old hotel. Place is huge and felt like a ghost town checking in. Staff was very nice. It is an old Marriott that has has some remodeling. Beds were white/clean/ comfortable but carpet seems older. There are no conveniences nearby such as restaurants etc. Didn’t stay for breakfast.
