8. My only complaint were the steep charges for internet and the fitness center with daily rates for both topping $10 (though admittedly the fitness center was far better outfitted than that of most hotels I visit), though in mind the additional charges were more than made up for by the great rate I got through Hotwire.

10. I do know they have an AMAZING spa, but I unfortunately didn't get a chance to go =( The fitness center is pretty amazing too, however I don't believe it's free (which can be a turnoff, there are, however, trainers available all the time to help you with your workout, which can be a turn on)Overall I would recommend this hotel to just about anyone.
