The room was great! Quiet, comfortable, fairly spacious. Continental breakfast was good. Staff was friendly when we checked in, but not as much when we left. Due to flight delays we didn’t arrive until the next day. When I notified the hotel of the delay they indicated that they would see about a discount since we paid for 2 nights but only spent 1. Nothing was mentioned upon check out.
