helpful staff early check-in available room small beds garbage disposal missing toilet paper
The front desk staff were helpful and kind. I arrived very early in the morning and they allowed me to check in at 6am. I was able to go into an available room and get some sleep before my business meetings.
The beds in the executive family room were smaller than expected. They were only full size beds. We had issues with housekeeping as well, they left garbage on the floor. I had to call a second time to complain about the lack of toilet paper.

average room loud noise
The Knights bar had great food and drinks and the staff were very friendly.
I found the room pretty average. I kept finding hair in the bathroom (not mine). The room faced a loading bay, so there was a lot of noise at night. I was disappointed.
