Pleasantly surprised

So surprised, in this age where so many hotels are run down and dirty, this was a welcome change. Room was very clean, and the bathroom had been recently remodeled, so it was fabulous. Breakfast was ok, would have liked to see some protein, but I realize the challenge of doing that. Would absolutely stay there again.
