I stayed here a few nights a week for four consecutive weeks. The staff are always willing, helpful and friendly. The amenities were fine, the location was outstanding for my requirements, and walking distance to anything that I might want. On-site parking and buffet breakfast are two things that I particularly look for.

If you like paying for a view and trying to sleep with what sounds like a jet engine going all night, great place to stay. Personally, I preferred the 3 star place I stayed at a few months earlier, had everything and more in the room plus free parking right outside your door
