helpful staff breakfast selection clean room
I found the staff very helpful, especially with directions. the breakfast buffet was also a plus. There was a great selection of beverages and local treats. the room was clean and spacious. i liked that there was a supermarket next to the hotel. It made shopping easy.
i wish the hotel provided an iron in the room. it was inconvenient not having one available without request. also, i thought the bar was small and dated.
