the staff were very nice!
The doors banged after midnight.. it sounded like both room doors and fire doors. the fire door lacked a soft close and slammed loudly. The front desk offered a small discount, but it barely compensated for the sleepless night.

A Good Stay!

superb locationcanal proximitycooked-to-order breakfast
The location was superb near the canal. Breakfast included continental options and delicious cooked-to-order choices like scrambled eggs with salmon. I dined at the restaurant, and the food was AMAZING!!! I appreciated the bus stop right outside for easy airport access.
My room had a slight musty odor.
