I enjoyed my stay over all. Room was clean and cozy. Breakfast was fair, but could add more items. Check In was fast and easy. I believe the name was Jackie. She recognized my wife's diamond elite status and was very welcoming and professional. Showed alot of hospitality. I'd definitely recommend this location, and will be back soon.

I have stayed several times, mostly good experience, convenient location, just not exactly as advertised (restraunt/coffee/breakfast/bar very lacking). I will definitely be back, just trying to bring my own food and coffee, Creamer, utensils and water.

· Very nice and spacious clean room in a perfect location for any conference in this area. Walkable to Omni hotel and most of the tourist riverfront areas. They do charge more than most for on site parking. We also did have a bad experience. My wife left an oversize multicolored parka on the bed after checkout. We called hotel a couple hours after being on the road to see about mailing it, and after a couple no return calls from the staff, called back again and they stated it wasn't found. This was not a garment that they would not have noticed when cleaning as it was huge and crazy colorful. Still some dishonest people out there which was disappointing.

I'm giving this a 1 star review based on terrible management. They never returned my incidental fee. Calling led to "send me an email" which has gone unanswered. Corporate opened a case and gave them 48 hours to which they still didn't respond. Terrible service. Nice rooms. Nice breakfast. I've had to initiate a charge back through my bank.
