Check-in was a breeze. The room was exceptionally clean with appliances to include an ice maker. Only thing to improve on is to assign parking spots per building as we had to park at another area as all the parking was taken. Dante’s restaurant had pleasant staff but the breakfast was nothing special and we opted not to have breakfast a second time.
