This is an older hotel that has been rennovated and is in very good shape. I would definitely stay here again as it is more reasonably priced than most other options. A free hot breakfast is a plus and staff very helpful. Nothing stands out as to anything we didnt like but I would have liked to turn down the temperature at night. We were able to open windows to let cool air in before bedtime and that helped.
