The rooms are first rate. The staff is very helpful. Breakfast is a nice treat. The absolute best part of the stay is the Jura coffee machine in the lobby. Thanks.

The room was nice. The tub stopper didn't work for my baby(3) to take a bath, but me manager. The food couple use some work. The check-in process was fast and staff was very accommodating. I left some items I forgot about. Housekeeping called me immediately and left tge items at the front desk. Location was great. Will stay again
