The latest reviews for the hotel on Trip Advisor have been better than they've been, ever. I hated this hotel when I stayed there a few times through Priceline (I didn't like the Tower or the other areas). BUT, they have been renovating and so far the very current reviews look good. I'd personally need several months worth of good reviews to make sure they were unbiased - but hopefully the hotel is doing better.
The location is excellent for DD. My favorite DD hotel thus far is the Hilton.
