    Very nice, clean hotel with spacious rooms. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rolling carts available and plenty of room to get them to your room. Beds have a nice pillow feel to them but they are a bit hard for my liking, triggered my pressure points. If in the area I would stay again, but bring something to add more cushion to the bed.
