A nice, comfortable stay overall. The hotel is a little dated in places, but it was clean, the staff was friendly, and everything was well maintained. The standout was definitely the complimentary breakfast—it had a great variety, was well stocked, and was one of the better hotel breakfasts I’ve had. I’d happily stay here again.
