Check in was very easy and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. It was my daughter’s birthday and they were so helpful letting us celebrate with her sports team in the lobby. We had a one bedroom suite and the only negative is our room faced the street where trolly goes by and makes lots of noise. It makes it hard to sleep past 6am. If you like to hike a mountain across the street or walk the river walk it’s right there.
