This is a very nice, beautiful, & clean hotel. The rooms are spacious. The beds were kind of hard so if you like a firm mattress they are for you. (I prefer softer.) It does not have a continental breakfast, but a breakfast is provided that you can pay for. My only complaint though is that I chose this property because of the shuttle service; however, due to the graduation the shuttle service was closed down. That was a deciding factor between hotels as I was thinking how convenient that would be to not have to sit in traffic or try to find parking. However with the hotel excluding it for the weekend we could’ve picked a different place to stay that was cheaper. I think they should notate online if the shuttle service is not going to be available so travelers will know that in advance instead of thinking they are paying more for a service they want but won’t be getting.
