the staff were helpful when i needed directions. breakfast was included, and i thought the food was decent. the hotel has parking on site, a big plus since i had a rental car.

my room wasn't properly cleaned upon arrival. there were hairs in the bathroom. the air conditioning was also not working, so i had to call maintenance twice. the minibar prices were very high, i think.
