This is an awesome hotel. There was nothing I would have changed or wished was better. The bed was super comfortable. The gym was clean and well stocked. The robes super soft. The entire facility was immaculate. Easy parking in the garage. I’ve already made plans to return so I can use the pool and get breakfast in the morning. It felt like a luxury stay at a reasonable price!
