Surprisingly pleasant stay!
really good breakfast ample parking helpful staff
The breakfast service was really good. The quality of the bacon, eggs, and toast was very high. I found ample parking space which was greatly appreciated and very convenient. I noticed the staff were friendly and helpful. They were always ready to assist with any questions. the room was adequately sized.
I noticed a strange, musty smell in the room assigned to me. It was noticeable enough that i kept the window open for most of my stay.
