The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Complimentary breakfast was a bonus. Our only complaint was that there wasn’t enough hot water to shower and the hotel was noisy at night. We used a white noise app on our phones and that did the trick to drown out the noise. Overall was a very pleasant stay and we would come back again.
