The room was good, location is perfect. But. Pool is yoo small and they didn't replace fresh towels often so it was usually non towels. Gym is very very basic. No water in the room for all 3 nights at all. No room cleaning, they didn't clean, didn't take our trash for 3 nights/4 days... overall they say was good, but prise is too much for that service

Nice facility, and friendly staff. Parking is not free, but that is to be expected in a downtown area. The "breakfast buffet" is not a buffet but it is well worth the price. Very fairly priced overall.
