Amenities

Dining

On-site dining includes Zeus Café, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and Ringlers Annex, a bar serving creative cocktails and in-house brewed beverages.

Rooms

Some rooms have en-suite bathrooms, while others offer shared bathrooms located down the hall, which are cleaned regularly. All rooms include bath robes, free toiletries, and air conditioning, but no televisions.
