Excellent value.
This is hands down the best Radisson I have stayed. Great Elite recognition. Suite upgrade both times I have stayed on points.
The 2nd floor has a large health club, basketball court, spa, lockers, steam, sauna, outside running track, indoor, out door pool, etc.
The only warning, is that on one side of the building, there is a fire station, so you will hear sirens at all times (evident when entering the building and in balcony). I was on south side, top floor, did not hear it once when inside room.
