Rooms are super comfortable and clean with a nice view! Parking is very easy and convenient and location. is close to Everything. One thing that was odd was the breakfast buffet was shut down at 9 am for some reason the employee working it closed without warning. When it's until 930 but thankfully I got breakfast right before which was pretty good. I would definitely stay again.

Bathroom door squeaked horribly because door had previously been broken. Hinges were bent and reinstalled poorly. One of the light switches worked but was broken. Bed was fantastic. Parking nice but pricey. Liked that you needed card to come and go. Breakfast was very nice also.
