This is an excellent property located extremely close to the convention center. It is in a safe location. The hotel offers a delicious buffet, which is open unless there is a special event scheduled. The best part is that it is adequately staffed for a proper 24-hour service experience. You should stay here.

The property itself is very nice. The area is not safe to walk after 6 pm. Due to the fact that the area is not the greatest the hotel itself should have some type of entertainment at night. It seems that they cater to people that travel for conferences but not everyone stays there for conferences. We were traveling on vacation.
