The room was spotless, and the hotel staff were welcoming and very accommodating. The hot breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of choices. There were plenty of options that worked well for me and my two kids, so everyone could enjoy a filling and healthy breakfast before starting our day away from home.

The room was spotless and spacious. The staff was very courteous. Just one thing, the TV on the wall was set back a considerable distance from the bed and it wasn’t very big. If that is the only configuration possible, perhaps a larger TV screen might be in order. No biggie, otherwise a fantastic stay.
