maid serviceconvenient dining
The room was very clean the maid service was great. The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels were provided. Two on-site restaurants offer convenient dining options especially the Waffle Spot with its varied menu. I liked the waffle. I had a good experience at the hotel. The room was a Standard King Room.
The hotel charges a daily fee for parking. I think this is excessive.
