Positive: Great seating in common area. Ease of parking. On-site restaurants. Central location. Fancy Moose and Flying Machine staff pleasant. Can open windows in rooms. Negative: seems rundown in hallways. Front desk staff often unstaffed and not overly welcoming. Useless soap in room.

We didn't sit outside in the patio because...
