Overall place was very nice, Great Breakfast. Breakfast could start earlier and that would be better for travelers. Staff was very helpful. Could have more electrical outlets or USB ports. I was under the impression it was closer to Town Center. Wish there was a workout facility. Laundry facilities are very tricky to use.
