8/10 Good
"Room was clean, but very warm when I first arrived. Front desk rep said A/C only runs when someone is in the room. I was worried it would still be 79 degrees when I returned at night. It cooled down nicely, even without me there. :) I only stayed two nights so did not have room cleaned/serviced, but the cleaning staff provided me with new towels when I caught them cleaning other rooms. The breakfast is always good. Would definitely stay there again, only on off game weekends though because the hotel is too expensive during game/event weekends."
