the hotel's location was excellent. the proximity to the light rail and central station made getting around so easy. i found the staff to be friendly and very helpful (thomas kane was particularly great!). the room i had was very clean and quite comfortable.

the hotel includes a well-equipped gym with three treadmills and two stationary bikes, providing ample options for a workout. the pool area features twenty loungers and a shaded section. (i found it a bit crowded during peak hours.)
