the room was large enough. it included an extra bed. i appreciated the bottled water refill station in the lobby. the free shuttle service helped since i bought some heavier items.
the food was overpriced. the hotel itself felt overpriced. there was only one mirror in the bathroom. it was difficult for my party to get ready at the same time. this is why i will not stay again
