The room was larger than I anticipated I also liked the shower it was big and not a tub shower which I liked. My bedside light didn’t work but everything else was good. I enjoyed the breakfast omelets. Breakfast in general was above average. We arrived late and the hotel staff was super friendly. I would definitely stay there again.
