The staff offered a warm welcome. free parking was a great convenience. the indian restaurant was superb. I enjoyed the dinner very much. i found the room very super clean and cozy. a great view was an additional perk.
The pillows were quite firm, and i noticed other guests mentioned the same thing. It's a small thing but worth noting.
