"My overall experience with this hotel was very positive. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was outstanding, Of particular note was the breakfast served. It had a wide variety of selections available including small, well prepared omelets and accompaniments as well as do-it-yourself Belgium waffles, a range of breads and muffins, and good choices of dry cereals. The one down note was the lack of toiletries that are commonly furnished in hotel rooms with only a single tiny bar of soap."
