Comfortable bed, excellent lighting (most hotel rooms don't have enough lighting), clean. Restroom was small. Needs full shower enclosure, water splashes out onto floor, wet floor not good.

The staff was excellent. Very nice, polite and accomodating. They were very attentive when we brought in the car, with our luggage and very kind overall. My family had a small wedding cake that the team was able to store in the refrigerator until, we needed to bring it to the restaurant.

Good location. Rooms are really small. Really small. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Hotel is next to a bar which was loud one night of our stays. There was also an event location across the street that played music very loud the same night.
