Pretty good place to stay.

Room was nice. Breakfast was standard and the breakfast area was small but well laid out with tables all around the perimeter making it easy to find a place to sit. Area was ok.

The bathroom was a little dated, and our mattress was much softer on one side than the other, but it was clean and did the job. Would stay again.
