The staff was great and the room was very nice. A little out of the way, but close to a lot.
Pros:

It is a great location for being close to a lot of different things and having a parking lot was great.

Cons:

It was close to what we needed, but there wasn't a lot around for down time. It fit our purposes. However, it is a bit out of the way
