Clean spacious rooms
Beautiful hotel, very clean rooms, big and bright. Quiet but close to everything. A lot of workers staying overnight but very quiet leaving early in the morning only problem with them was they parked in disabled parking spots! (Hall carpet was a bit dirty on second day so only 4 stars because of that)
