Wonderful Stay

super clean roomfriendly staffdelicious breakfastseparate toilet
The room was super clean. I stayed in the Junior Suite, and it was very good. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was delicious. I do appreciate the cleanliness, the helpful staff, and the good food.
The separate toilet was strange. It was apart from the shower and sink, so I had to exit to wash hands. I dont know if this arrangement would suit anyone.
