The location is REALLY convenient for attending events at the arena. Breakfast offered a lovely spread with MANY choices, and everything tasted fresh. The staff was helpful and pleasant. They enhanced the experience. I appreciated the flexible check-out time.
I noticed the absence of a toilet brush in the bathroom. This made maintaining cleanliness a bit difficult. It would be a valuable addition.
