Excellent Hospitality and Service

friendly staff quality linen great breakfast
The staff was friendly and helpful. My room was super clean with high-quality linens on the comfortable bed. Breakfast offered a great selection and tasted good too.
The plumbing made some noise, and the soundproofing between rooms could be better.

dated bathroom poor sound proofing
the breakfast, i guess, was acceptable and i did not feel robbed.
My room was seriously dated, especially the bathroom, it was like stepping back into the seventies. the shower was a dribble more than a wash. the sound proofing was non existent. I heard every cough and conversation from the next room.
