Room/Suite was very large and comfortable. Even though we were facing the street we couldn't hear any street noise. The breakfast buffet was more than adequate and tasty. Several hot items in the buffet were a plus. The desk staff was very friendly and allowed us to check in early. If I had a complaint, we had a pretty worn couch/sleeper in our suite (room 200) that wasn't completely closed and there was a huge tear in the armrest. I know the property is going through renovations at this time, so we were willing to overlook this problem with our room. Other than that, it was a lovely overnight stay.
