Breakfast and food from the restaurant were great. Beautiful property and lots of amenities including daily happy hour and breakfast with made to order options. Only issue was the parking garage was having issues with parking passes but they had an easy fix for it.

The room was very clean and had everything that was needed on my visit. My only complaint was the microwave on top of the refrigerator! There was a step stool but I wasn't comfortable having to use it to use the microwave (especially being 76 years old). I was afraid of falling.
