The pool area was a pleasant surprise - much nicer than the neighbouring Hampton Inn. We were especially delighted with the evening dinner shuttle service - a free shuttle into the dining areas of the city to enjoy much more variety that offered within walking distance - smart idea!

The room was smelly. Either mold or someone's BO was left behind and wasn't properly cleaned. The staff was pleasant and accommodating and changed us to a different room. Otherwise unremarkable.
