The above should tell you we liked the hotel. It is easy to get to off the expressway and a short drive to our son's home so we always hope we will get it when we bid. We really, really liked that it had free parking. Sometimes we get the Crown Plaza and they charge $10/day for parking.
Positives: The breakfast area was v. pleasant, best I'd seen for this sort of thing and food offered good & varied.
Negatives: Nothing was unlikable.
