The hotel staff was very accommodating on all fronts, and always had water available. The room was clean and well set up, the hvac was quiet and effective, and the bed was comfortable. Only negative was that the peloton bike in the gym had not been maintained, the screen did not turn on and the bike was rusty … maybe not important to many visitors but a peloton is something I look for when booking.
