Fastest check-in I've ever had at a hotel. My forms were printed and waiting for me when I walked in the door. I had my room keys less than 60 seconds after I arrived. Room was clean and spacious, building is well located, and the staff was excellent.

Staff failed to restock room so we had to request replenishment, and also had trouble getting the TV to work for net casting. View from room was less than ideal. Otherwise, our stay was quite pleasant and the staff were wonderful.
