superb lodging experience

attentive stafffree parkinglovely layoutcomfortable bed
The breakfast offered many tasty options and the staff was attentive. They were friendly but not overbearing. the free parking was a nice bonus. I found the overall layout to be lovely and functional. i especially admired the lighting design. Whoever designed the lighting deserves recognition. the beds were very comfortable, and i fell asleep quickly.
The room service dining options were very limited. This was disappointing after a long day.
