"The stay was nice, bed was a bit hard but still slept really well. Nice and spacious. Great hub if you don't want to stay in the busy areas but definitely takes a bit to get around to main attractions. Parking included was great. Would recommend not allowing smoking in front of doors as the lobby then smells of smoke. Also please include water in the room."
