The free parking was a major bonus. I saved money because of it. The recently decorated room felt fresh and clean. The pillows were so puffy and bouncy. I slept perfectly!!! Staff members offered helpful service.
I noticed a shortage of tables during the busy breakfast hours. Finding a seat in the morning was tricky. More seating would improve the dining experience.
