Everything was really good except I kept having trouble with my key/getting into my room. I had to get a new key at least 4 times in 2 nights. Will stay again but hopefully they will replace those old key card locks.

The room was quiet and clean. The breakfast was good, and the coffee was excellent. But the electronic blinds kept raising and lowering by themselves, at 7:30am and at about 3pm. The desk didn't know why that was happening.

Great stay!

Great stay!Clean rooms amd comfortable beds. There was a bit of wear on lamp shades in the bathroom, the gym was only a bike and elliptical, and there was no water avaliable at breakfast but those were all minor things. Overall it was a lovely stay and the staff were all very nice. Will stay and again and recommend.
