the staff greeted everyone with warm smiles and attentive service. the on-site laundry with books and a couch was especially appreciated, giving me a chance to relax while waiting. i also found the hotel's location quite convenient, with access to nearby attractions. the generously sized rooms offered plenty of space to unwind after a day of exploring.
i noticed the gym could use a few more equipment options to provide a more comprehensive workout experience.

convenient location friendly staff good breakfast slow check-in no upgrade no air conditioning
i stayed for a few nights and the location was very convenient. it was easy to get around. the staff were also quite friendly. the breakfast buffet at the keg was a highlight (especially the pancakes!).
check-in took a while because the front desk agent had trouble finding my reservation. even with my id, it took a long time. i declined their offer to upgrade me to a suite. my room did not have air conditioning, which i didn't expect.

I appreciated the convenient dining at The Keg. It is located inside the hotel. I found the front desk staff to be very cute. Complimentary parking was REALLY appreciated.
