Very nice hotel with a great view. Although it was a great stay, had issues with the television and issue was not fixed until 2 hours later. Also had an issue with the coffee maker at first but then worked well later. Besides that, it was a great stay. Also they do charge for parking for x amount of vehicles you bring too.

We arrived very early before our check in time and the staff were very helpful and understanding. They stowed our bags for us and arranged an early check in, which we really appreciated. The breakfast at the hotel was good but a little more expensive than we anticipated because there was an 18% service fee.
