This hotel met my 3 top priorities:, clean, quiet and cool. Though the room we had is small; there was plenty of cupboards to store our items. Bed was comfortable and bathroom has big shower. Hotel complimentary breakfast was terrific; lots to choose from including bacon, eggs and dutch pancakes. Great selection of fruit and pastries. Highly recommend.
