Great location and very helpful staff

I liked the kitchenette in the Club Quarters hotel, especially having a microwave oven and extra sink. The biggest thing I like about the room is that it has a bathroom door that actually closes and locks (they do not use the "barn door" style doors that some hotels are installing). I spent time researching hotels prior to booking, and this is one of the key things that I use when choosing a property. One addition I'd like to see in the lobby is a way to make hot chocolate. I think the easiest way to do this is by simply adding hot cocoa packets, since their machines already dispense hot water. Their machine can handle simple coffee, but can also create espresso shots, and a few other tricks like steamed milk. And it's free in the lobby for hotel guests.
