This is a nice place with a pleasant enough front desk and staff. The rooms are all suites, which make it particularly pleasant for families, with two TVs, one for dad and ESPN, and one for the kids in the other room. The room was very clean and well appointed. All rooms face an atrium, so women might feel mixed; on one hand you are visible to those in the lobby so staff can see you going in and out of your room, but so could someone else, so it's a toss up. The breakfast buffet was the usual fare, but no made to order egg dishes, etc. available. I am a low fat vegetarian, so fruit and oatmeal was it. Lots of sausage, cheese scrambled eggs (likely powdered) and so forth, but special requests are out. Staff were very attentive in the restaurant. Two complaints, the first picky, but the exercise room is small and one of the treadmills did not work. Given that there were only two in a fairly large place that's a problem. You could not use the elevation, so if you like to work out on the road, you better wait in line for the one treadmill that someone else may be on for an hour. More important, I arrived at 2:30 pm and there were absolutely no food options until the restaurant opened at 5:30pm. They have a snack area off the lobby with all the junk humans should not eat, cokes and cheetos and candy bars. The nearest restaurant is a mile away (Taco Bell), so if you came by van and don't have a car, and you didn't have breakfast or lunch like I had not, then you are screwed. No apples or other fruit available, just junk for three hours. Picky if you are full, but if very hungry significant weakness for such a large place to have absolutely no food options from noon to 5:30.
