The front desk was knowledgeable about restaurants in the area. and gave recommendations of places to try. We loved that there was a shuttle to take us to the the airport. The room smelled of urine. We did inform the front desk but when he came he said he could not smell because of having a cold, so he sprayed Febreze and left.

The room itself was spacious, the receptionist are friendly. One thing I noticed the walls are very thin, so if you are sensitive with noice this might be an issue. Also, the blankets are so thin, definitely not what i prefer. But overall the room is clean and everything else’s is good. I’ll stay again.

Place was clean and quiet. Rooms have a lot of space. The bathrooms are huge with everything upgraded. The breakfast is decent. Waffle station, packaged oatmeal, yogurt, apples, coffee, muffins, bread, packaged pastries, cereal, milk, juice machine, tea bags, hot water. They had these eggs that didn’t look very appetizing and there is no meat like bacon, ham or sausage. The staff is very nice there. Water pressure in shower is very good. A/C and heater unit work very well. Pillows are not the best so take your own. TV has a lot of channels to choose from.
