We enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff were helpful throughout our visit. Our family room on the third floor was spacious and offered a lovely view. The only downsides were that the decor felt a bit old-fashioned and there was no a/c, but overall, it was a good experience.
