1. There isn't much within walking distance in terms of sights, however the free trolley does run nearby with stops at museums, shopping etc. Breakfast is included and is provided in the Friday's restaurant on-site, with lots of variety to choose from.

2. -Amenities: We weren't there long, but they seemed to have everything you'd need there including a free breakfast at TGI Fridays.
"Great stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor   2/26/2012 Vote      
3. That being said, there were some problems: the free buffet breakfast served at the attached TGI Friday's was a complete zoo, and if you don't get there early it's crowded, dirty and there may be no tables, forks, spoons, cups or plates available; there was some kind of construction or renovation going on in the room either above or next door, and during the day you could hear it; on-site parking is overpriced at $44/day; you can wait a long time for the elevators; housekeeping seems to be understaffed since they didn't get to our room the first night we were there.

15. The free breakfast was really crowded and hectic, but the food was delicious, My only problem was that we booked months in advance, through Expedia, choosing a room with 2 beds in it, but when I got there, they told me I asked for a single king bed, even though I had a confirmation saying otherwise.
"Big rooms, great location " Read full review on TripAdvisor   4/23/2011 Vote      
16. Well, we did save some money staying there however the breakfast situation was an understaffed free-for-all with food running out every 5 minutes, people running for the few meager cups put out, and long lines.

"This hotel was highly recommended by a friend ...and it was great! " Read full review on TripAdvisor   8/6/2010 Vote      
23. The staff did their best, helping to direct people in the unbelievably crowded breakfast space--a free breakfast is never worth the kind of wait for seating and fresh buffet food that we experienced--and maybe they learned that booking all those triathlon people (with bikes, which didn't fit in the elevators except when standing on end--awkward for other passengers!) wasn't such a good idea.

48. Positives:* room was very clean* bed was comfortable* one of the largest hotel closets I`ve ever seen* sofa had a pullout bed* balcony* kitchen suite was helpful* very friendly staff* free breakfast - I`ve read some complaints about this in other reviews and I thought the food was pretty average free hotel breakfast, but they did have an omelette station* managers reception - we didn`t partake, but there was an option to drink on the houseNegatives* building is oval shaped so rooms are shaped like pie pieces and the entrance doors were three or four inches apart* kitchen suite was looked dated (although clean)* bathroom towel rack and shower curtain rod were both loose* didn`t have a business center* all the vending machines were on the second floor* there was a concierge station, but no one was ever at it* the elevators were very slowly and at one point, only one of the three elevators was functioningHotel is undergoing renovations that will likely address some of the negatives.
