Employees are great. Hotel was great. Location was great. For some reason, I did not have hot water for my shower. That’s the only reason I did not grade everything five stars.

Great place. Great location!

Everything was great. I thought the parking was a bit of a hassle during check in. HOWEVER - it’s underground and heated, and super easy to get to after check in. So I have ZERO complaints on this 7 degree morning! I would def stay here again.
