Awesome Stay!

useful garagecomfy bedpoor breakfast
The hotel provides complimentary water, coffee, tea, and snacks in the room. It's super close to a large public parking garage, very useful. The hotel staff helped me when the electronic blinds didn't work one evening. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in.
Breakfast had a very poor quality, and the service was also very disappointing for this class of hotel.
