Happy New Year 2021! Thank you for allowing the Lancaster Hotel to host your wonderful stay.

The staff has been awesome since day 1. The room is very clean and spacious. Hot breakfast is still being offered but for in-room service and the best part of it is unlimited. I mean you call several times and order literally everything on the menu under complimentary. The only thing is that it is paid parking. $12/day but it is the cheapest that I've seen. I recommend for anyone to stay. Great food as well!!
