Nice hotel over all, no housekeeping service after a certain hour, unsuall because hotels usually have turn down service and upon request they will change the bedding. We were getting ready when the housekeeping personel came early in the morning and by the time we left we requested our room be cleaned and we were told no housekeeping..the only thing that was odd. Being ive stayed in many hotels and they have no issues with this accommodation. Sometimes your still resting from the night before, and arent going to wake up at 10 or so for housekeeping, over all the check in /check out was fast, the elevators have a safety feature that you need a key to go up to the designated floor. Breakfast was....um..well not a regular buffet where you just get the food options, more like you have the ingredients and tools to make yourself. Lol. Air condition worked very well.

Delightful stay. We were just there for one night to attend an event at the Central Zoo - the location was so close and an easy drive. Facility was new and clean, spacious room with a sofa. Friendly personnel at the service desk. Nice breakfast included. I recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Had a great stay here for a long weekend! Staff was always welcoming at front desk, breakfast area was always clean and fresh food refilled. Rooms were serviced everyday by personable, happy staff. Small thing was that the rooms were cleaned much later in the day but not really an issue. Staff always available to replenish towels if needed. Lots of options for dining and shopping close by. Even a few chain restaurants within walking distance. Parking can be slight issue if you get home later like we did a few nights. There is another hotel that shares the parking lot so if both are filled parking is a problem. We are so happy that we stayed here and quite possibly will stay here again next year.
