I always stay at this hotel, and love the staff and facility. The only issue was that only one of the three treadmills were working in the fitness room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a good experience. Room was clean and spacious. Could use an update soon but it was clean and the view was great. Not a lot of parking, and no one tells you that you must pay for parking at check-in, however I knew from reading reviews. They told me at check-out, that I had a parking and "eco" fee and asked if I wanted it added to my credit card. Based in my recent stay, I would recommend.
