The room was very well maintained, very clean and the bed was wonderful. We stay in a lot of hotels and this had one of the best beds, pillows and linens (crisp, high thread count sheets) that we have stayed in. The room is well insulated so you have very few sound intrusions. The parking garage is convenient and free of charge. The LCD tv has mainly hi definition channels. Breakfast was not very good for the money (not much to chose from, scrambled eggs were runny, milk was warm). We had dinner in the Shula's Steakhouse in the lobby which we were looking forward to since it is supposed to be one of the top 10 steakhouses in the country. We asked at breakfast for a 7:00 PM reservation but when we went downstairs at 7:00 were told our reservation was for 7:15 (even though no one had called us to tell us the time was different). They said they could not seat us until 7:15 even though there were several empty tables. Once we were seated we waited 25 minutes to place our one course dinner order. It took another 45 minutes to receive our meal. Two of the four sides were ice cold (the holandaise sauce that I did not order with my brocolli came out with the a congealed layer on top of it since it had been sitting somewhere else for a while). My husband's steak was not cooked correctly, he sent it back only to wait 10 minutes for it to come back a second time still too rare for his taste but he kept it so that he could finally eat. The hotel is wonderful just go to one of the restaurants across the street.

DONT KNOW IF I WOULD STAY AGAIN. THE ROOM WAS VERY NICE AND COMFORTABLE FOR THE MOST PART...A LITTLE SMALL, BUT OK. I UPGRADED TO A ROOM WITH A VIEW OF THE BAY, HOWEVER, I GOT A ROOM WITH A VIEW OF THE TOP OF THE PARKING GARAGE, AND THEN THE BAY OFF IN THE FAR DISTANCE. APPARENTLY THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION GOING ON THAT NO ONE TOLD US ABOUT SO THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND INTO THE NIGHT, YOU COULD HERE THE MACHINES GOING FULL BLAST. THE WORST PART IS THAT THEY PUT US IN A ROOM AT THE VERY FAR END OF THE HALLWAY, RIGHT NEAR THE HOUSKEEPING QUARTERS, SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE EVERYMORNING AROUND 7 OR SO, YOU COULD HEAR PEOPLE LAUGHING, TALKING AND CARRYING ON RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR ROOM. THE LAST NIGHT WE WERE THERE OUR TV DID NOT WORK SO WE CALLED DOWN TO THE GUEST SERVICES AT ABOUT 6 PM OR SO, AND BY THE TIME WE CHECKED OUT THE NEXT MORNING NO ONE HAD YET COME TO CHECK ON THE TV. NOT SURE I WOULD STAY AGAIN, NOT ENOUGH GOOD TO GO WITH THE BAD. I WILL SAY THIS THOUGH...THE ROOM WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND CLEAN!! THANKS.

The hotel experience was a great one! I just recommend that you choose the hotel if you are on a business trip. The reason behind it is because it is located in a business building with all types on different businesses. My room was actually located in front of the hotel where I could see the mall and the traffic. When the sun set then I was actually able to see the offices that were across from the room.....but overall I enjoyed the comfort of the hotel, it's amenities and Shula's Steak house which is located inside of the hotel! Talk about easy access! ENJOY ;-)
