The room was spotless. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. I have a pet peeve about slamming doors especially in hotels when you are tired and want to sleep. And i have been guilty of it. However the doors in this hotel do not slam they just close very quietly.

The desk for who checked me in was very friendly and helpful. That was comfortable and the room was clean as was the rest of the hotel from what I noticed. Breakfast in the morning was good and the coffee actually tasted like something quality that I normally drink, which was nice. Overall, a much more enjoyable stay then I get most other places, especially in that price range.
