Nice hotel, clean and well maintained. The beds are unfortunately very hard and uncomfortable making it hard to get a good night's sleep. The included breakfast is a nice touch but the breakfast area is not large enough to accommodate all guests making it very busy un the morning. You also almost can't sit at the bar stool area as a shelf under the table prevents from fitting in your legs. Overall ok but would look elsewhere next time.
