generally ok

great locationfree parkingcomfortable suitelimited selectionmissing itemroom seating
the hotel had a great location, only a short walk to the town center. there was also free parking available, a plus. i had a suite and it was big enough and fairly comfortable.
i found the breakfast selection quite limited (especially for a 4-star hotel). several items were missing, like cheese and yogurt, disappointing. the room i had lacked seating, and i was told to wait in the lobby when i asked where to sit with my food.
