The hotel was fantastic and we stayed here for 4 nights. The continental breakfast was some of the best I have had from a hotel. The coffee machines are available 24/7 and grinds and brews fresh coffee. We had a room with two king beds which is hard to find, but we appreciated very much. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The only complaint I have is the laundry room only had one washer and dryer that took $6 in quarters and closed at night.
