the breakfast included options cooked to order, and the staff readily accommodated our request to skip room cleaning. ample parking space was available near our room. the tv reception was clear, a nice touch. we found metal spoons in the room, a welcome change from plastic.. this detail shows consideration . the kettle was generously sized, and multiple sockets allowed easy recharging of devices. the thick curtains effectively blocked sunlight.
