Great location, low stress, comfortable...

Liked: Very clean, nicely appointed, modern style building, low stress parking, nice people. Good breakfast. Beds comfortable. Easy to get anywhere in the city and nice for university -hospital destination stays. Aside from minor issues listed separately a nice, good value stay. Would come again.
Disliked: Minor things: no one did our room after our first night and we all swam, then showered so ended up realllly low on towels second morning. Someone set off the fire alarm quite late one night. I imagine that is rare though.Elevators slow or disorganized, so a lot of elevator waiting. Room: “suite” has very short ponywall then sofa bed. Sofa bed wasn’t very comfortable. The microwave -fridge area is basically a blank hall could have had some more coat -bag hooks or shelves or something. Pool location means walking across the edge of the lobby to the elevators, so there’s a constant puddle track into elevator, make sure to bring flip flops and a coverup. Hot tub closed when there, pool looks smaller than pictured but fine, 4 foot deep.

Surprising, unexpected quality, and value...

Liked: The room was large, modern, pristine, and very quiet - hardly heard anyone coming and going from their rooms. I was surprised by the variety, locations, and quantity of outlets dedicated to charging personal electronics.
Disliked: WiFi was adequate, but not great. This was a strange contrast, a contradiction to what a person would reasonably assume, considering the number of modern charging outlets. The same can be said for the television system: it's somewhat archaic to explore the hotel's television channel subscription on a printed card, then punch the numbers in on the remote. But these oddities wouldn't deter returning to this hotel.
