Convenient location for my business trip. Rooms comfortable but worn (toilet continued to run unless you wiggled the handle, elevator floor worn out). Good breakfast each morning.

Okay hotel
It was a nice enough hotel but in our opinion did not live up to the high rating score. The complimentary breakfast was mediocre at best.

The property was as advertised and very clean. The location was central and convenient with free parking and well lit corridors to elevator. The pool area looked inviting and the outdoor fireplace had a nice vibe, the weather wasn’t cooperating I would definitely stay again.
