Wheelchair-accessible common areas, a doctor on call, a safe-deposit box and on-site parking (may incur charges) round out the practical perks.

Complimentary wireless internet in rooms and public areas. 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff and complimentary newspapers in the lobby. Self parking available (charges may apply).
