What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
It was fine

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Booked "1 KING BED NONSMOKING" - no upgrade
500 points amenity

How are the rooms?
Hotel is a weird shape, kind of like a triangle, and you enter on level 2. Because of the layout, there are a few rooms that look to be quite large. Otherwise it was unremarkable.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?

Good:
  • Clean and quiet
  • Free parking
  • Breakfast re-stocked promptly

Bad:
  • GPS didn't understand how to get into the parking lot; you have to enter at the Chevron gas station
  • Aside from the gas station and a somewhat dodgy bar/restaurant next door, didn't seem to be much in the area but office buildings
  • No online copy of the checkout folio

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
It was ok. I had hoped staying here would make it quicker to get to a meeting nearby but the traffic was bad enough that it would have been almost the same to stay downtown and drive out.
