Check in was great; the room was clean and comfortable except the blankets were pretty flimsy. I don't like sleeping in a hot room, so it was uncomfortable to have to turn up the heat to be warm. Otherwise, a fine hotel for a one-night stay.

We had a quiet, comfortable stay. The breakfast was not available by 8:30. We went down at 8:35 hot food was gone. Asked a little later was told we’re not going to cook more because it was about to close. So they do not serve until 9 am. Our stay was good and we don’t usually care about the breakfast.
