We received a warm welcome at check-in and enjoyed nice sized room with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The hotel has a good amount of parking (at a very reasonable rate) and a good offering at breakfast. I’d definitely look to stay here again. 4 stars instead of 5 due to dirty glassware in the room, tired-looking carpet and not enough coffee provided in the room.
