Wonderful views from the restaurant. Breakfast was good. All staff were excellent, friendly and helpful- a great asset to the hotel. Some of the public areas were very tired looking, especially the bedroom corridors. The exterior would also benefit from a coat of paint. However, we did enjoy our stay.
