The breakfast bar surpassed our expectations. The food was hot and fresh. The area was clean and the staff was constantly cleaning the area. They were extremely polite and helpful. The only issue we had with the room was the bed linen. It had stains on the flat sheet. The parking was exceptional. The parking attendants were helpful and knowledgeable of the area. This hotel was walking distance to everything.

Room/building was clean and modern. Parking wasn't sufficient for a full hotel. Breakfast was fine - fairly typical hotel buffet. Bad experience checking in. Due to short cleaning staff and some issues with a large number of guests leaving at the same time, rooms weren't ready at 3pm checking. The lobby and restaurant was full of people waiting for their rooms to be ready. Other than that, all was good. Within walking distance to Colonial Arena.
