The front desk were very welcoming and courteous. The room was well appointed and maintained, clean and comfortable. The parts of the hotel I saw also appeared clean and well maintained. As I only spent one night here, it would be unfair for me to comment on the food and amenities as I did not indulge at all. In summary, I would definitely add this to my shortlist if staying in the area again.
