convenient location and helpful staff

helpful staff easy appointments

the staff here are wonderful and very helpful. i arrived earlier than expected, yet the host quickly came to the hotel to let me drop off my luggage. this allowed me to easily get to my appointments.

the pillow case had a strong fragrance, and this made me concerned the bed linen hadn't been changed. the shower temperature kept fluctuating from hot to cold. it was a bit bothersome.
