The staff were wonderful and so helpful. The hotel interior is tired and needs an update. The gym is adequate. The parking on site is difficult to access and valet parking would be sensible but it was not an option.

It’s a very nice hotel, clean and comfortable. But… if you’re a noise sensitive sleeper, make sure an A/C unit in your room isn’t too noisy (ours was just terrible).
