Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed that they had a coffee machine downstairs, shuttle service, and the trolley station right next door made it so easy to get around. However, the hotel does not have a bar or room service early in the morning due to being short staffed. Overall a very nice and clean hotel.
