Overall good stay. The hotel is nice, friendly staff, and great location. The three areas of opportunity they have are 1) given check in is on the 2nd floor, cars pile up in the narrow entry way; 2) the elevators are very slow, and to make it worse, if you take the stairs before 7:00am, the lobby door is locked, so you have to go outside, then bck up to the lobby: 3) the gym is small, and should be expanded.
