The room was clean and a good size. The staff was efficient enough.
I had issues with the parking! It was difficult to find a spot, and the signage wasn't very clear. The room service was also slow. I ordered a club sandwich, it took nearly an hour to arrive and was pretty bland, I didn't even finish it.
