Conveniently located in the heart of town. I had requested an accessible room. The bathroom facilities for this room were excellent. Large walk in shower with handle bars. Nice breakfast although it was like a maze to get to the breakfast area. The Amarillo restaurant is conveniently located in the hotel.

Ystävällinen vastaanotto, selkeä ohjeistus, siisti huone ja sijainti olivat täydelliset. Saman katon alla oleva market, huoneen jääkaappi sekä ilmastointi auttoivat kestämään helteistä viikonloppua. Aamiainen perustasoa, murot/myslit kaukana jukurteista (eri pöydissä). Linjasto oli sokkeloinen. Amarillossa annokseni oli liian maustettua, syöminen jäi kesken.

Pysäköinti oli helppoa ja joustavaa, pystyi ajamaan halliin ilman puomin avauksia, koodeja tai kortteja. Sai maksettua vuorokausihinnat vastaanotossa ja sai ajaa välillä pois ja takaisin.

Viidennen kerroksen käytävällä haisi oudolle. Äänieristys käytävältä huoneisiin oli huono, ja käytävällä juoksenteli metelöiviä lapsia iltaisinkin ja kaikki äänet kuului suoraan huoneeseen.
