Excellent Stay with Friendly Service
fresh breakfastfriendly staffconvenient locationmultiple stairs
The breakfast was fresh and well-prepared. I appreciated the friendly staff, especially the breakfast lady who was helpful. The location proved convenient for visiting family nearby (which was the main purpose of my trip). I participated in a quiz night. It was great fun.
Reaching my room required navigating four sets of stairs. This proved somewhat difficult with luggage.
