"We loved our stay here! The door-delivered breakfast was nice. We had the King bed with sofa hide-a-bed which meant we had a whole living area downstairs, and a big bedroom upstairs. Nice-sized TVs. The whole unit was very nice!! The only issue was the second night, we had hot water in the shower only briefly (it was a weeknight and the hotel wasn't full). Not sure why but it started out normal, then got cold before we had a chance to rinse off! Happened separately to both my husband and myself. We parked when we got there (two nights) and never needed our car until we left since we could easily walk everywhere. We would definitely stay there again, assuming the lack of hot water was probably a fluke!"
