The staff was courteous and supportive, the hotel itself on the other hand is not in great shape. If you stay in the tower, you will be alright, if you stay outside of the tower... Good luck, they really need to invest in renovations ASAP for the hotel as a whole.

Substandard accommodations. No towels, no cups in the room, no iron, no coffee in the room and ran out of breakfast at 8:30. $700 a night for a stay at the Worst Western. Oh, lamps didn’t work either.
