Nice stay for a business trip.

First stay at this hotel and it was really nice. The rooms and hotel generally were clean, and all was in good order. Not the largest rooms but for one it was fine. They do offer off-street parking but tried twice, on check-in and then after dinner and there was no space. There is all day parking about 30-40 metres away so that wasn't the end of the world. I have one negative or criticism, and that was to do with breakfast where I met a client. We both ordered eggs, but it came with just one piece of bread!! I had 2 fried eggs, and they were scrunched onto just one piece of toast which I wasn't happy about. Seems a bit cheap when you are paying $20 for eggs on toast. If I did stay here again, I would certainly have breakfast elsewhere.
