Room was very clean, but the only option for breakfast didn't seem to be able to accommodate any additional business- it was very empty but we were in a line with the people ahead of us complaining about the time that they had been waiting, a server looked at us and turned tail and went the other way immediately like they wanted us to think they didn't see us.

Easy check in. Plenty of free parking in front of hotel. Comfortable temperature throughout the facility (not too hot, not too cold). We had the jacuzzi suite and it was fantastic. The jacuzzi was very big. Exceeded my expectations. I did not like that a complimentary breakfast was not offered.
