great experience overall

great varietyparking garagehelpful staffhigh temperature

The breakfast buffet provided excellent variety. The hotel is near a convenience store, a pharmacy, and several restaurants. I used their parking garage, convenient. Staff at the front desk are friendly and helpful. The room was very comfy and tidy.

The room temperature was high and i had no way to control it. The window opened only a crack, so there was not enough airflow. Car noise from below was noticeable. No one answers at the reception desk.
