The staff there is outstanding! Very friendly and very helpful. The building itself is nicely maintained and very clean. Our room was very clean also! If I had one critique, it would be that this room had only one USB outlet anywhere in the room. Most hotels have USB outlets at the base of every lamp and in a couple of the wall outlets. This is the only place I can see any room for improvement.
