Pros (+) Like the decor, comfortable rooms, bar & snacks, restaurant and location. Electric car charger - this is the only hotel I can charge my car!! Thank you for being GREEN
Cons (-) That the breakfast buffet is $16!! I don’t eat dairy or meat so there was nothing for me to eat. And I wasn’t going to pay $16 for a piece of fruit.
