Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room away from the street if noise is a concern, as road-facing rooms can be noisier.

  • 02

    Arrive early to secure a parking spot, as the free on-site lot is compact and fills up quickly.

  • 03

    Plan for a light breakfast: the complimentary continental offering includes coffee, juice, and packaged snacks; a fuller meal is available at nearby restaurants within a 5-minute walk.

  • 04

    Use the seasonal outdoor pool between 10:00 and 20:00 during warmer months.
