A great, clean hotel... I'd definetly stay again.
I was on a concierge floor with access to the lounge. My room was consistently clean, although it was beat up in certain places. Nothing major, just minor cosmetic things that keep me from giving this place 5 stars.
Enough w/ the negatives. The staff here was extremely helpful & nice in every encounter I had with them. The lounge/bar on the lower lobby was nice, having a starbucks in the lobby was a plus (just dont go at peak times- they are very sloooooow), the gym/pool sauna all hit the spot as well.
Some may grumble about the valet parking. There's two self parking garages right around the corner that will save you money. Both of which are cheaper and a very easy/safe walk to the hotel.
If you can get a good rate on this hotel, jump on it! The location is great, and its right next to the light rail. Quick tip--- you can get most places downtown by mass transit for free. Jump on the light rail on Stout one block to 16th st & take the Free mall shuttle. The light rail runs every few mins and is quasi-free ( just hop on it. There's no one checking tickets ever)
