The room was clean and comfortable. The cafe provided tasty and reasonably priced breakfast options. The staff were pleasant and helpful. I wish it was easier to get to the parking. All of the nearby levels were reserved for valet parking so I had to drive up and down 3 levels to get to the regular parking, as well as a take a separate elevator back down to the lobby. Overall, a great stay.
