Our room was very nice, bathroom was exceptionally clean. Plenty of space for clothing, etc. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Did a good job explaining use of pass key in the elevator, which made us feel very secure. I would definitely stay there again and will recommend to my friends.

The room was great as was the breakfast. The biggest criticism I have was the parking. Very small spaces and being charged $20 a day when you're already paying a decent price to stay there was a bit ridiculous
