i don't usually share reviews, but this place earned one. my executive room included free drinks in the bar and a very good breakfast, which i did enjoy. the room provided plenty space, and the bed was supremely comfortable. parking felt quite secure, a very important detail in such an area.

the room could have used some extra attention to detail. there were some stains noticed on the carpet and curtains. i hope they address it soon.
