I was pleased with the clear instructions regarding late arrival and accessing my room. The room was well-appointed, offering a beautiful view from the balcony. Breakfast in the morning featured fresh selections. I also found free parking available right in front of the hotel, which simplified my arrival (it was a real convenience).

I found that the gym equipment had a slight odor, a minor distraction during my workout.
