For a High quality hotel, i find that it needs improvement. Coffee machine should be a Keurig instead of trying to figure out the machine. Nothing to write with or note pads to write on. No explanations in the room about the pool service. No vending machines in hotel, i was surprised that not even a bathrobe to put on after bathing. Could include a menu in the room. Just little details that would really impress people that do travel a lot in order for the hotel have customers come back.

The Hotel was clean, centrally located and the price was reasonable. If I stay there again, I may splurge and have dinner at the on-site restaurant.
