Although this will seem negative, it really should just read as average. I probably won't stay here again as there are other better properties, to my taste, in the immediate area. This was definitely a corporate property. It seemed like every penny was being counted. No wash cloths, adds everywhere for bonus points for not using services. Pass cards and tokens needed to use various facilities, not just available with your room key. We requested additional towels and they were never delivered. I had to ask housekeeping for some off the cart. The staff was universally very nice, the facility was clean, so ultimately an acceptable stay but not exceptional. Also problematic was the ubiquitous perfume/deodorizing scents. Very irritating.

Great overall experience! Only thing I would say was that some things in the room do need to be replaced, for examples the carpet did have multiple stains. Other than that, everything was great, I would recommend!

Excellent location allows to walk in all of the city. Good rooms. Good breakfast. Parking is available also but limited spaces and has EV charging which is a bonus.
