Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was very clean and very quiet. Great location for my needs. Check in was easy and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was good with different hot options daily. If I have any negative comment it would be that the room door was very heavy, if I didn't hold on to the handle to close it it would either knock into me hard or slam shut. I would definitely stay here again.
