8/10 Good

"Hotel was awesome, staff was great and room was very nice. Only downfall was the laborers were on strike and they were allowed to hold cars at the entrance. I had plans in the morning and a few hours in between and could not get back to the hotel because I was held out for the full 2 hours. Staff felt bad but unfortunately they couldn’t do anything about it."
