Staff was very friendly. Front desk clerk took the time to explain how to access the WiFi, breakfast hours, and which restaurants in the area offered a discount for showing your room key. Breakfast was good, I had a nice hot waffle, egg and coffee. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and plenty of free channels on the large TV. Very quiet, did not hear any noise from the other rooms.
