Fantastic Stay

convenient restaurantfriendly staffnecessary amenitiesclean environment
The hotel offers a convenient restaurant on the ground floor. I appreciated the option. The staff displayed helpful, friendly attitudes. My room included all necessary amenities. The hotel provided a very clean, tidy environment.
I noticed permanent marks on the toilet seat, it was slightly off-putting, though not a major issue.
