"The hotel clerks and housekeepers were responsive. I enjoyed having access to the Club floor. However, on 2 nights, I was disturbed by the TV in the adjacent room, and on the 3rd night, I woke to a strong, peculiar, chemical-like smell. No room service, and no shuttle service to the hospitals.2023-03-17"

"The line at check-in was long, and the hotel clerk said the coupon packets were locked in the manager's office. I tried calling repeatedly, but no one answered the phone, so I finally went back down and had to wait 30 minutes to get the packet. Don't stay here.2018-05-24"
"The hotel room didn't have any heat; we were moved to another room, but there was no hot water in the morning for showers. The 9th floor was dirty, poorly lit, and the elevators didn't always work. Find another place to stay.2017-11-27"

"The rates seemed high, but the hotel room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. We got a good night's sleep. We were a bit unhappy that everything cost extra, including a fridge. No soda vending machine on our floor.2018-04-09"
"Lovely hotel. Our room was on the 9th floor, and we heard an intermittent noise all night that sounded like a subway passing under the building.2016-05-03"
"The hotel room was clean, spacious, and stylish. The lobby was welcoming, and everyone was friendly and helpful. The bar area was inviting, and the prices were fair. We used the valet parking and were satisfied. Great experience.2023-03-31"
"Convenient location. Although the hotel and convention center were adjacent to one another, the convention center entrance was 2 blocks away. We found some hair on the shower wall. The hotel staff was extremely competent. The front desk clerks were patient, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the valet was helpful and informative. 2023-03-13"
"The hotel clerks were friendly and helpful. I recommend staying here.2021-06-16"
"The hotel room wasn't ready when we arrived after 4 PM. We had to wait and were late to our event. The room was small, and we didn't like the cheap plastic cups. Avoid this one.2019-06-27"
"The hotel claims to be connected to the convention center, but the doors were locked during ticketed events.2019-03-06"
"An unpleasant experience. I asked for a 1st floor room and was given a room on the top floor far from the elevator. Towels weren't replaced daily unless a request was made in advance. During my 4-day stay, my room was never cleaned. The ice machine was in the basement. The hotel entrance was on a busy street, so loading luggage was inconvenient. Good variety of microwavable breakfast items and liberal breakfast hours.2021-08-21"
"Our room was clean, the bedsheets were fresh, and the carpet wasn't stained. The bathroom had new fixtures, and the shower had a glass door. The decor was spartan, but it was a good value. The hotel lobby was large, clean, and bright, with laminate flooring. The elevators were clean. Located in a seedy neighborhood, but it's a good option. 2021-07-12"
"The hotel employees were nice.2021-04-21"
"You couldn't find a better hotel atmosphere, and the staff was the most caring we've ever encountered.2020-02-11"
"We were happy with our stay, and the price was right. The hotel was clean and modern, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was good. I was self-parking and felt safer walking to and from the hotel on 12th Street rather than 13th Street.2017-08-23"

"The hotel was centrally located to downtown attractions. The subway to the sports stadiums was just a block away. The room was well-maintained, but the mattresses were worn. The TV was out of service for hours. The elevators were old and slow; be prepared for long waits during peak hours. I'd give this place 2 stars.2019-08-16"
"Our hotel room was big and clean, and we liked that it was on the top floor so we didn't hear any noise above us. Parking was expensive, though; with taxes, it was $55 per night.2018-04-12"
HotelGuides makes it easy to find hotels that are pet friendly. I also like the ease of changing reservations and that I don’t have to pay in advance.

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
