Great location in the bay with free parking. Friendly, helpful staff. Speedy lifts right up to 6th floor. Very welcome extras like biscuits and bottles of water in rooms and bathrobe to use. Apples sometimes available outside lifts. Beds not quite as comfy as Premier and TVs smaller, but a very enjoyable stay.
