The room we were in was very well cared for, filled with cool art and a very well made art of cool bathroom hardware. The staff was very friendly, and responsive to all the issues that came up. Parking was a little limited, but safe and clean. The bar and restaurant were great, very tasty food for dinner and the continental breakfast was a continental breakfast, but they had good coffee every day.
