Greeted by friendly and proficient front desk staff. Early check in was accommodated. Room was well presented and functioning air conditioning/heat thermostat. The lobby bar and restaurant are worthy of a visit and with a wide selection of beverages and menu tastes. Note that the restaurant is seperate and unable to charge dining to your room.
