The staff were very friendly. They helped with directions to local attractions. The room was quiet and I got a good night's sleep (the pillows were really nice). The shower was powerful and had good temperature control.

The air conditioning in my room did not seem to work properly. I set it to a low temperature, but the room remained warm. Parking was flooded after some heavy rain. I had to be careful to avoid getting my feet wet while loading luggage.
