convenient stay with helpful staff

the staff were lovely and very helpful, they stored our luggage before check-in so we could explore. the bed was very comfortable, and the shower was great plus the room size was bigger than i expected. the ground floor had a 24/7 bar, a pool table, games, a tv, seating, vending machines, and a concert area.
i visited during the summer, and my top-floor room was quite hot. however, the provision of a fan was very appreciated.
