Stayed here with my 8 year old daughter and we had the absolute best time. Everything was perfect. We got room service which was quick and delicious. Swam in the pool and spa. Only downside was that the pool is only 27 degrees. Wish it was at least 30 degrees especially for winter. The spa was lovely at 36 degrees. The buffet breakfast was fabulous. And the convenience of parking and Central train station and light rail being only a 5 minute walk so perfect. We will be back for sure.

Perfect & Easy Stay

I enjoyed my stay. Nice and large room, comfortable bed, nice breakfast and easy parking, great and efficient service. Not really sure what more I can ask for. Sometimes the wait for the elevator seemed longer than it should, but I guess that's just at busy times, and that's me really knit-picking
