Very clean room. Convenient walking to many places. Great check in service. Breakfast way too many people, shortage of food and breakfast area was very warm. Not much fruit and what was there was rotten (apples only). The only disappointment of our stay.

Very decent hotel for price. Rooms were clean and comfy and the r breakfast was good. Thr pool and lounge areas were nice. My only complaints were the parking was not very transparent . It was expensive and a real pain because every time you left you had to pay with your phone before you could leave . It was annoying. Also the business center wasn’t working at all. The internet browser wasn’t updated so you couldn’t use internet and tr printer was having issues which front desk clerk tried to fix but couldn’t . This is a management issue and they should have been responsible for that. I couldn’t print off my medication list for my doctor appointment I traveled down for as a result so it was very inconvenient and took up most of my morning unnecessarily.
