Dated Room, Good Location

onsite parkingcreaky floorsbroken tiles
The location was good. The hotel provided onsite parking.
The room and bathroom seemed very dated. The floors creaked a lot, and I could not open the window because of road noise. Some tiles were broken in the bathroom floor.

The room, a double room, was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was AMAZING!!! It included many options, both continental and traditional.
The room faced the parking area, so car noises were sometimes disruptive.

Excellent Stay

excellent locationhelpful staffsecure parkingmissing safe
The location provided easy access to key attractions. Staff offered assistance with directions. I appreciated the secure on-site parking. Breakfast included both continental and hot options cooked to order and was very satisfying. The room was tidy and provided a restful stay.
The room lacked a safe for storing valuables. I think having one would be a big plus for security.
