I liked the helpful staff. They were really quick to help with an iron when I needed one. Breakfast was varied and tasty, something I look forward to when traveling. The hotel location is central. I was near everything.
The water temperature in the shower was inconsistent. Sometimes it would get too hot or too cold, a little annoying.
