Parking was easy, rooms were spacious, and the beds were comfortable. I also appreciate and liked the bathroom and shower a lot. Only bad things were that the room was not ready when we first got there and that the key cards were somewhat faulty. Otherwise and overall, a pretty good stay and I would stay here again.
