Mostly really good

The good, hotel staff professional, friendly, & helpful. Rooms are clean, plenty of luggage carts available. The bad, reception area needs to draw more attention to guests registering, parking spaces have many compact spaces, mostly full size sedans and larger in the lot. breakfast layout leads to groups of people standing around, no flow, and sitting area over crowded.

Absolutely loved our stay. We are a family of 4. The studio was spacious for all of us and enough room for my 3 and 4 year old to walk around and play with toys we brought from home. The breakfast had a lot of options which was great. I told my husband this has been the best hotel we have ever stayed at. We will be staying here again if we are ever in the area! Highly recommend
