I was very impressed with this hotel! The building and rooms all felt new and very clean. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast has a nice selection, we appreciated the vegetarian mini omlettes, fresh fruit , and yogurt ! We chose this hotel beacuse it included breakfast and gym and wifi for no extra costs. There a $10 fee for parking, but that is much more reasonable than other properties! Would definitely stay here again!
