Social Place
This is the hotel to choose if you want to mix and mingle. Lots of people and much going on. The cocktail reception is nice, but was quite crowded, as was the breakfast buffet. Our room was average and rather small and dark, since the walls were a dark grey/green and the furniture black, which I did not find appealing. We attended a wedding and reception that was nicely handled and the food and beverages served were tasty. Overall the service was adequate, but not overly friendly, which I simply attribute to the vast number of guests. This was especially true of the valet. After pulling into the queue and waiting, we had to exit our vehicle and ask for assistance and when we picked up, there was no assistance offered with doors or luggage loading. We received a wedding room block discount, so that made it easier to overlook some things, but I would have been somewhat disappointed if I had paid full price. I have had bigger, better appointed rooms and better service at other hotels in this price range, although perhaps this is more typical of a large downtown hotel.
