tasty breakfastunfriendly staffuncooked chips
Breakfast was tasty, and there was good parking.
The staff seemed less than friendly. The only cute person was the one at arrival. The food seemed all fried in fat. The smell was noticeable outside the room. NO one asked if our meals were okay, and the chips were not cooked properly. The bedding seemed not very white, definitely not professionally laundered.
