Modern, clean hotel with staff that is trying to be very attentive and helpful. Sometimes going a bit overboard. Quiet, with plenty of spaces to hang out or work, and pretty nice fitness center. Enough parking and easy to walk around for dining etc.

The service was great. I wish they would have explained that the breakfast was $18/person. It looked like a basic continental breakfast spread. I was also disappointed about the roof top bar being closed but I understand the reason for closing it due to the weather.
