Solid hotel stay

The buffet breakfast had many options and the staff were very friendly. I found parking easy with 24/7 access (it made coming and going easy). The location was very central. I could see the Sky Tower from my room! The check-in process was smooth and the staff were cute.

The hotel could use a directory with services available (i found out about the laundry room by accident).
