It was a great location. Central to the areas we wanted to explore but also quietly tucked away. The only downside was I notified the front desk on our way out for evening activities that our toilet would not flush and needed to be plunged likely. The kind lady at the front desk noted it but when we got back to our room hours later. It still would not flush again. I called down to ask if someone could please drop off a plunger to our room. I advised we let someone know earlier but the situation was still not resolved. She let us know she would try to locate one. She called back to let us know she couldn’t find one and asked if it was useable until the morning. I advised it was not, she let us know that she could relocate us to another room. We agreed to do that. Due to the hour it was for relocation and the hours that had passed where there was no resolution to the problem it was a bit frustrating for us.

The place it is quite and convenient. Staff very nice, easy check in an out. The only thing that I would like to say, it is that one of the elevator was out of service and we have to wait long time to get to the room and to get down as well. Also, we had little trouble with parking lot, there is no sufficient park spaces.
