My only concern was getting locked in the stairwell bc there was nothing said or posted that you can go into the stairwell but cannot get out without keycard. As someone who is claustrophobic, this caused near panic for me. Some staff were very nice while others were somewhat standoffish. Facility was clean. Breakfast offered a variety of good food.

Very convenient! The room was large and clean. The restaurants nearby were fantastic with many options. Breakfast buffet in the hotel was not worth it. Single working elevator seemed ready to give up at any moment! Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and would start again.

The room was quiet and comfortable. The desk staff is very helpful. The room temperature was easily adjustable and television easy to work. Three things that were a bit of a bother - there was no usb port for charging my cell phone. The toilet paper was in an awkward location and the tub could use a grab bar for getting in and out of the shower.
