Rooms were quiet and super clean. The bartender/waiter, Greg, was super friendly and made my stay even better by recommending the hydro- massage chairs. I enjoyed a reprieve from all the chaos of traveling and needed a nice break.

Regardless of what conventions/expos/room fulfillment this place: reserved weeks/months in advance they leave 1 bartender down in their bar.
Escalators are frequently out of service.
This hotel management and IHG is a fail.
