friendly staff great food efficient service cheerless room harsh color old carpet
I found the staff to be really friendly. The food tasted great. I especially enjoyed my evening meal and the super breakfast I had.
The room felt a bit cheerless. There were no pictures on the wall. I also found the harsh color for the curtains and throws to be a bit much. The carpet looked old.

The elevator made a somewhat strange noise at times.
