Overall was good.
Pros:

The front desk was very welcoming and friendly.

Cons:

There was a continuous noise in the room. Woke me up way earlier than I wanted to be up. May have been from the air duct system.

Pros:

Location, clean

Cons:

The awkardness of the breakfast compensation by the staff, there is no hot tub or spa according to staff and self checking. Booking.comm has it listed with one which was one of the biggest reasons I picked hotel.

Pros:

Stayed here for a business trip and staff were very nice and room was quiet and comfortable. They have a little bar area which was nice for a glass of wine at the end of a long day. Easy to find and easy parking. Check in and check out was nice and easy

Pros:

Room clean and comfortable

Cons:

Rates to expensive for the time of year. We literally got there at midnight and left at 8 am and the cost was too much. I had a dance code for a discount and they said it was too late to add it in for the discount
