Comment: I was in town for the marathon and, all things considered, this hotel was pretty quiet. The front desk was super accommodating at check-in and got us right into our room without issue. The room itself was almost comically large. A large living room with chairs, soft, and a desk, as well as a large bedroom with its own chairs/desk. The bedroom and bathroom were separated by a vanity and the bathroom featured a tub and a shower. Of note, the shower was only a little larger than a phone booth, which was really weird given the otherwise palatial state of the suite. I am a skinny runner and I found myself moving cautiously to navigate the space. Larger folks will probably find it uncomfortable. Staff were all incredible throughout the stay. Accommodating is the name of the game but they were never obtrusive. Very happy with the stay.
