Hotel was very nice. I wish there was an exercise room but not a deal breaker. Rooms are nice but the air conditioner was too high up and even with the remote it was hard to see what the temp was. Fan in bathroom loud and water pressure in shower could be stronger. I do love the easiness of parking in front of our room and access to the lobby and breakfast area. The breakfast attendant was very nice, helpful and cleared dishes as we finished eating. She was awesome! We will stay here again
