a Nice stay

I reserved a connecting family room. It was a wonderful size for my family. The room was ALWAYS very clean. The buffet breakfast offered great variety, with many fresh choices available. It provided a lovely start to each day.
The street outside was sometimes noisy, though the hotel itself was a tranquil escape.
