Loved the balcony with the view, the great walk-in shower and the comfortable king size bed. For a hotel with a restaurant, I expected the breakfast to be better, hot, freshly cooked, better options. But it was the same waffle machine and cool watery scrambled eggs as every humdrum roadside motel, with few options, especially for vegetarians.
