The room was clean and had everything we needed. The staff went above and beyond getting milk for our tea when it wasn't readily available or during nirmal hours. They were courteous and friendly. The hotel couldnt be in a better location for shopping and restaurants in walking distance. Would recommend hughly fir a couple, friends shopping weekend or fanilies with children.
