The room was clean and well maintained, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. Although the hotel is located at a very busy intersection, the valet service made parking effortless. The valet attendants were professional, courteous, and a pleasure to deal with. We dined at the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. Dinner was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. Breakfast was offered as a buffet rather than à la carte; while it was perfectly fine, it would have been nice if the menu options displayed in the guest rooms had also been available. Overall, we had a great stay and would gladly stay here again.
