Front desk staff was extremely helpful. There was a delay in getting into the room (it was crazy busy during graduation) - but they were kind enough to store our luggage and offer us drinks and snacks until it was ready. Additionally, when we needed to find milk off hours, they were able to help us there as well. Parking was easy and convenient, rooms were neat and new, and the entire staff could not have been nicer. And a very decent breakfast. Location is a little bit funky, but otherwise we highly recommend.
