Rooms are super comfortable and clean with a nice view! Parking is very easy and convenient and location. is close to Everything. One thing that was odd was the breakfast buffet was shut down at 9 am for some reason the employee working it closed without warning. When it's until 930 but thankfully I got breakfast right before which was pretty good. I would definitely stay again.
