Pros - clean, modern, and well maintained. Cons - pillows in room are extremely too flat and hard. Restaurant staff service was horrible on both occasions that I went there. Apparently there was a lack of staff to handle the workload and the wait for service was unacceptable. I would stay here again though but eat somewhere else.
