Convenient. Comfortable and clean

The hotel is clean , comfortable and courteous staff. . The only change that I wish they can do is to change the refrigerator in the room it is set with a timer to cool for just two hours then it shuts off . Then you need to set it u again ! But other than that I love this hotel it’s near the venue we needed to go too which is convenient.
