Highly recommended.
Pros:

Of significant note, the check in and check out staff were incredibly friendly. Probably more than any other hotel I've ever dealt with. I probably should have collected their names to provide deserved accolades but didn't. I checked in Saturday evening (24 Oct) at about 5:30 PM and was checked in by a young lady. I checked out Sunday morning at about 7:00 AM and was helped by a young man wearing a blazer. Both were EXCELLENT employees and again, incredibly friendly and helpful.

Cons:

It was a bit pricey, but it is an excellent facility.
