Amazing stay with great amenities
Pros:

My room was perfectly clean and comfy. Housekeeping is on it even stopped by to see if I needed anything cleaned during my stay. My bed was comfortable. The breakfast had many great options. The parking was underground which felt very safe as only guests could enter the garage. I was able to check in early!

Cons:

There was not anything I didn’t like about my stay
