There's no place to park to check-in. It is nice to have parking nearby. Staff took care of requests. Breakfast okay. But no lactose-free option. Bed comfortable. Room big. Loved the view from the 9th floor. Quiet. Great location.

It looks like it underwent renovations recently. It is a nicely designed, decorated and spacious hotel room with plenty of space. We loved that it had a kitchenette with a full size refrig and microwave too. the gym is a nice size with good quality equipment. We didn't eat there so cannot speak to the quality of the food. While I found the bed somewhat uncomfortable, admittedly, I do have back pain issues. Despite that, I would still recommend this hotel.

I booked a king, only had a double. Only thing said was “sorry”. Wifi was to laggy, tv wouldn’t even play properly. Said breakfast, no breakfast. Said pool, no pool… under renovation… I am a general contractor, there is no renovation taking place visibly, it’s all open and just closed. Under staffed maybe, not under renovation taking place to render said services.
