Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. Beds were comfy with good quality bedding. The breakfast looked good but the "hot" food was not very warm! A nice selection, though (sausages, scrambled eggs, pancakes, fruit, and a variety of bread, english muffins, etc.) I'd stay here again.

Room was nice. Bed was comfortable. Room above had a plumbing leak and the ceiling was stained. Door handle on the bathroom was not fastened properly and fell off a few times. Service was quick and friendly. The gym is nice and clean.
