The room was a great size. i found the food to be nice, especially breakfast. all the staff members were excellent and friendly. I'll be back. i enjoyed the free parking too! the location is amazing. this stay was so easy, just what i needed.

sound insulation constant water
The breakfast had a big choice. It was slightly chaotic with random queuing but it worked.
I think the check-in time is too late and the check-out time is too early. Those hours felt very short. Room 63 was noisy with zero sound insulation between us and room 62, annoying. the building's plumbing seemed to run through the walls of this room. We were kept awake by constant water flow. It was substandard for the high rate.
