the location proved fantastic! on-site parking offered a definite advantage, simplifying logistics greatly. the staff demonstrated very nice helpfulness, and the city created a nice experience with its fabulous restaurants.

the soap and shampoo came from dispensers. i found this a bit basic, especially when compared to other hotels i have visited. small bottles of water were complimentary, but i got charged for a large bottle i did not consume.

The location was acceptable. It was close to many restaurants.

I wasn't THRILLED with the shower. The water pressure felt more like a dribble than a proper wash, a little irritating after a long day.
