The TV was one of the largest we've had in hotels, though navigating the technology was a bit difficult. The room had been recently updated, so was fresh and smelled new.. Everything about the hotel proper was excellent. However, parking garage is a nightmare with vertical columns everywhere in the way of navigation.
