Solid choice for a business trip

good quality friendly staff major landmarks business hubs
The breakfast buffet has plenty of choices with an eggs-to-order station, a GREAT thing. I dined in the different restaurants, and all food was of great quality. All staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel's location is excellent with convenient access to major landmarks and business hubs.
The gym was very small, and it easily became overcrowded during peak hours. Some poolside loungers did not have the option of shade, like umbrellas. This lack of shade made it difficult to enjoy the pool during the hottest part of the day.
