Beautiful room, helpful staff, always giving us extra towels. Great location for our needs. Clean, lots of great dining choices. Will return, when we again have business in the area. Great breakfast buffet, that saves us money, so we could then spend it on some upscale restaurants, LOL.

Anthony at the front desk was super nice. It is a very clean hotel & the room was spotless! We arrived in mid May & apparently the ac for the rooms wasn't turned on yet so we did find the room rather warm. That's our only complaint. Overall it was a good place to stay.
