I only got to stay one night, so I was super disappointed I couldn't stay longer. The staff was cheerful and extremely accommodating, especially the front desk clerk who called me before the 4:00 pm check in time to tell me I could come early at no extra charge if I needed to. She also gave me excellent directions to places to eat and things to do, and a new parking pass when mine flew out of the window! The room was very nice and immaculately clean. The only thing I did not like was a slightly leaky air conditioner over the edge of the bed leaving a small puddle on the floor, but that was minimal and tells you how comfortable we were able to make ourselves in the room. This place is 11/10! I will definitely revisit.
