Solid Stay, Great Breakfast

Grace and Sienna at reception provided a friendly welcome and attentive service throughout my visit. The breakfast team worked hard to maintain a good selection until closing time. I appreciated the staff letting guests know when breakfast was about to end, so i have time for another visit. The room temperature was easy to control, good.
The scaffolding around the hotel did obstruct some views from my room.
