Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Cozy, clean, and comfortable. The only negatives were that their internet bandwidth not sufficient for the room tv, Wi-Fi had poor distribution, only hand soap for the shower, and no complimentary coffee for the in room coffee maker. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.
