surprisingly great stay!

I found the staff very helpful, especially with directions! breakfast included many choices. I had a satisfying meal each morning. plus, a bus stop right outside made getting around so easy, even to the airport. it was very convenient!

the room décor felt a little dated. some of the furnishings could use a refresh. i didn't mind too much since everything was clean but new would be good.
