quiet areakept groundsfriendly staffwarm roomcold watertime loss
the hotel is easy to find near the airport, in a quiet area. i appreciated the nicely kept grounds around the building. the on-site restaurant was excellent, providing great food and really kind staff.
I found that the room was too warm. Adjusting the thermostat did little to change this. the shower water was initially cold, frustrating. i waited 25 minutes for warm water, but it caused me to lose time before my morning meeting.
