We love getting greeted by Tony every time we stay there. He’s very professional, friendly and accommodating. The breakfast could use a bit of an upgrade . Eggs taste powdery and bland, sausage a bit slimy. A better variety would be nice.

The room was clean. The bathroom was fine. The shower head was somewhat rusty and didn't operate all that efficiently. Throw-away shampoo and soap is a bit out-of-date compared to other hotel chains. The room temperature was very good. The breakfast offering was not great. The coffee was in much need of improvement.
