"The hotel is clean, beds are comfortable, and hotel was quiet. The breakfast staff are exceptional !!! They were friendly , helpful, huge smiles, and amazing. They even allowed me an early packed breakfast so that I could attend a scheduled tour and have food ! The front desk staff was helpful as well. Only negative is the restaurant/ bar were closed, creating g a need to Uber food after breakfast."
