efficient reception family room free breakfast
the reception was efficient, and the staff easily provided information on local dining options , and parking. i appreciated that the family room allowed two adults and two teenagers to stay together. this differed from some other chains i have used. i also found the free, early weekend breakfast especially convenient.
i noticed some dark decor in the room , and the swinging light fixture felt a bit off.
