6/10 Good

Parking was easy/felt safe. The breakfast was soso - nice granola and yogurt but otherwise nothing special. The juices had gone bad but the very nice staff replaced it by fresh juice once we told her. The room was clean and the hot shower was very nice. The beds are terrible, with extremely soft mattresses. We probably would not come back.
