Excellent Stay, Minor Drawback

helpful staff breakfast selection king size bed
I found the staff very helpful. They accommodated all requests quickly. The breakfast selection included many choices. The food quality impressed me greatly. I appreciated a king size bed in my room. It was spacious, perfect for relaxation after a long day exploring the area.
I did notice sound carried easily between rooms. I could hear noise from neighboring rooms, especially doors slamming. This occurred mainly during the late evening.
