The front desk staff was very helpful. They quickly brought me a coffee from the on-site Starbucks to enjoy in my room. Plenty of hot water was available! The breakfast buffet had many options. The hotel booked us a ground floor room. This provided good accessibility for my elderly mother.
The room looked a little worn. It could definitely use repainting.
