the staff was very helpful and polite. the bed was very comfortable. the breakfast was delicious and had a good variety of options, which i appreciated!!!

the shower pressure was a little low. the room was a bit too warm, and the fan didn't quite do the trick. i could hear noises from other rooms, it wasn't a complete disaster, but it was a bit distracting.
