Overall very good hotel stay. The reason for 4star vs 5 is we had booked a larger suite but unfortunately the suites ar3 o front of hotel overlooking Memorial Drive. Lots of road noise. A different room was available after one night trying the suite noise. Great location & great staff.

Very helpful staff, extremely clean and kept. Room was large and very well stocked. Large bathroom and a huge tub/shower combination. Heated underground parking. The food in the restaurant was outstanding! Great location for shopping and dining. Their soap, shampoo, conditioner, had a lovely fragrance, which I prefer. Excellent value for the money
