Central Location and Friendly Service

helpful staff perfect location clean room
I found the staff to be helpful and friendly. Michelle at the front desk was really good! The hotel location was perfect. It was easy to walk or catch a tram to various places. The room was clean and large, a real plus.
The parking situation was not ideal. The parking, said to be in the building, was actually not. I had to park further away.
