Get the Suite!
I have been all around the world and this is my FAVORITE hotel. The happy hour snacks were WELL worth the price. Not to mention the suites. The only downside is the parking is $50 a day. So that was a shock.

Ok but I wouldn’t stay again
Only one elevator was working when we arrived and was not fixed while we were there, the key cards kept deactivating, it was very difficult to get in and out of the parking garage because of the key cards, the food was ok, staff were friendly for the most part, parking is so expensive! It was ok for a couple of nights but I would not stay there again.

4-star location; 2-star hotel
Sitting at the base of the S. Congress bridge and on the side of the river closest to shopping, the location couldn't be beat, but the hotel left a lot to be desired. Only one elevator (of 3) worked with no way to access interior stairs from the lobby, house-keeping didn't clean our room until the fourth of a five day stay, our room smelled musty, the pull-out sofa was stained, and the wall-paper was also stained and peeling.

Elevators not working
The staff was all very kind and very friendly! It was one of the busiest times of the year and they had 1 of 3 elevators working. We would sometimes have to wait 5+ minutes as elevators stopped at every floor and were packed! Food at the bar/ restaurant was good.

Worst experience ever
My son has been experiencing nightmares and bedwetting since the traumatic incident involving the SWAT team on our floor. The entire situation unfolded directly across from our room, and it was an incredibly distressing experience for both of us.

Average for me
Phone was not plugged in on arrival. Cords behind were filthy. Cobwebs at console outside the lifts. Only one lift worked for the ENTIRE stay. Missed happy hour by 5min due to the bottle neck at lifts and was told no sorry too late!! Asked at front desk for directions to visitors center and guy looked at me like a deer in headlights. Got directions from another but was wrong because visitor’s center changed locations.
Breakfast was average. Crowd seemed rough/ ghetto at times.
