good breakfast menu with hot dishes selection that were excellent. No a/c made the rooms a bit stuffy, and there's no elevator, but otherwise all was great. Nice big rooms and a good location! Everyone on staff was very friendly.

Great location and staff... My small room is perfect for a solo traveler... very clean and breakfast was top shelf but extra. No elevator or AC, which was no big deal for me but keep that in mind if those are things you need.
