delicious breakfast good location friendly staff inconsistent water flow poor tv signal outdated decor
The breakfast included cereal juice a full english breakfast and toast. The location worked well for my travel needs. I found it to be like a home from home.
The hot water for the shower went from hot to cold. The water flow was not consistent. The tv lost signal a lot so it was hard to watch. The decor could use some updating it could be more neutral.
