Everything was great, only problem is the sidewalks on the way to the bus stop don't go as far as they need to and you have to walk in the street to get to the bus which isn't a hotel problem really at all but it's just something to keep in mind.

The front desk gal that checked us in was super nice. The breakfast staff were accommodating and helped us figure out what items they were serving were gluten free so my kids with celiac could still eat the breakfast food. Thank you! I was not impressed with the lack of parking in the hotel parking lot.
