Good size rooms. Comfortable beds. Nice selection of items at the breakfast buffet for $27 pp. This is a bit pricey. USB in the room did not work. Requested repair three times during the stay to no avail. Parking is $31 per day.

Cons (-) For some reason roomservice came knocking on the door at 8:30 when check out time was 11am. Also I called down to the front desk to ask a question and the lady was very rude to me. The o oh good experience Inhad was the gentleman who checked us in, he was nice and very courteous. For a four star hotel I would have expected more.
