Disliked: Amenities
Maybe I missed it in the booking but breakfast is not included. $20 a day to have wet eggs and limp bacon. Coffee was good. WiFi was down the entire time. This hotel shares space with Hilton Honors with working WiFi and free breakfast. Recommend if you need this location to book that side of the building. First two nights the entire floor I was on reeked of pot. Thankfully it didn’t reach into my room.Second two nights weren’t quiet as there sounded like minor construction happening. Couldn’t tell if it was noisy people or late night repairs. Overall unenjoyable.

I didn't feel it was in the best area. Our room was near a very loud street that despite having 3 brown noise apps on our phones we could still hear the cars so we weren't able to get much sleep. Thankfully I bought the insurance so we could cancel our room for the net night and move to a much nicer marriott where we could walk to so much. I felt very bad for the two ladies working the front desk. They were so kind and trying so hard, but just couldn't keep up with it all. They are the only reason I'm not giving it one star.
