The breakfast offered a good selection of items. The staff members provided assistance with directions. The room included air conditioning that worked effectively. I found that parking was available at the hotel.

My room had furniture that looked somewhat dated. The variety of snacks at happy hour seemed limited. The elevators operated slowly, it caused some delays. I notice that the gym was small and basic.
