The room was cleaned daily to a high standard by the housekeeping team. That was acceptable.
I found the room temperature was set to 23 degrees in summer! I had only a heavy duvet and foam pillows. This made for an uncomfortable night.

The room was modern and very clean. I loved comfy beds and daily housekeeping! The staff was friendly. It was easy to park right out front. I really enjoyed the hotel's great location, very nice city views, and convenient parking.
The service was bad. The front desk phone line was hard to get through.

The general manager was very friendly, so I'd say the check-in staff member was also very wonderful. I did see one super nice guy making coffee and bringing it to our room in the morning, which I liked. I loved the staff.
