Stayed here several times. Was happy with location and service. Staff was quick to help with some things we needed. In this age of streaming, hotels might think tv service and channels aren’t a big deal but for me it is. Most channels are either news or sports. Some other options would be nice. Also tv reception sometimes is problematic. This time I had a suite with 2 tvs. One tv did not have all the channels as the other.
