I had a pleasant stay overall at the hotel. The location was great, right in downtown, making it easy to explore the nearby breweries. The rooms were comfortable and clean, though I encountered some issues with valet parking. While the dining experience had its shortcomings, with some cold buffet dishes, the facilities added some enjoyment to my trip. The value for money was decent, but it could be improved in certain areas.
