Room was great - paid just a little extra for higher floor and view was worth it. Sad to have to pay for parking in garage but appreciated that it was available. Furniture in room was visually nice and was in great condition. Plenty of channels offered on tv or could connect with your streaming service easily. Love walk in shower. Downside was toilet paper - which was not at all soft. Breakfast had good variety but waffles which were premade and potatoes were both overcooked/hard. Staff was great at both check in and check out.
