mixed feelings about this hotel

dirty balcony unavailable valet

the breakfast had a good selection.

My room had issues. The balcony was dirty because of bird droppings and i could not use it. valet service was not always available. Parking was far, and carrying my bags was difficult. the hotel is also in a pretty isolated location.
