the breakfast was good (especially the bread selection).

The room i had was quite small. also, i found the lack of soundproofing disappointing. I could easily hear noise from the hallway and adjacent rooms, which disrupted my sleep. the room was also overheated.

I found the room very clean and well decorated. free parking was available, useful (i did bring my car). the restaurant was fabulous. I enjoyed my meals there.

My room seemed overheated, and it was difficult to cool it efficiently. i ended up opening the window, but then i heard highway noise all night. the room was also small. It only had one chair for two people.
