I was charmed by the breakfast! it provided so many choices. the location was excellent. It was close to many restaurants and sites. the staff was great and very helpful. I appreciated this very much.
The hotel charged a daily facility fee, and i was not informed about this at any point! This was a surprise. the parking garage was the most expensive in the area. It was sixty dollars per day.
