Great hotel! Easy check-in and check-out process. Clean room. I really appreciated the free coffee in the room. The staff was wonderful. When we had an issue with the temperature of our room that was out of their control they moved us to a new room and even compensated us for the inconvenience. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
