Shower pressure was not good. Pillows were too hard and thick. Need more options for pillow comfort. They need a coffee shop or breakfast area inside the building . It’s a big hotel and conference center , needs to have better options for guests. I like that their check out is 11 am, dining room is nice but far away from main area check in
