This was a brief stay but the hotel was excellent. Staff were super helpful. Room was very clean and had everything we might need including iron. Very comfortable. Breakfast was included and very tasty with lots of options. Didn’t like coffee but seems to be same in many hotels using the type of machine they have. Great location and easy parking. Highly recommend.
