Love the option for underground parking with keycard access. Love this hotel- we have stayed there previously and it is great. Staff was great. Decent breakfast. Pool and hot tub were clean and well kept. Pool floor is a bit abrasive but not a huge deal- just use caution! Rooms are clean and updated, beds comfy.

Overall, it was a good experience. The room was clean, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The only area I think could be improved is the breakfast selection. It would be better if the menu varied every other day, as we noticed that the same food was served daily during our stay. Aside from that, everything else was great. We still enjoyed our time and really liked the hotel.
