good breakfast choice decent room kind staff small room size stained carpet single elevator

the breakfast offered a really good choice. the room was decent with a nice bathroom. i found the staff very kind and polite.

The room size was too small. the carpet had stains due to heavy usage. It could use refreshment. there was only a single elevator so there was a bit of a wait sometimes.

super clean!

friendly staff blackout curtains pancake machine umbrella rental

i found the check-in process smooth with friendly staff. my room had good blackout curtains, a thing i value. the breakfast buffet featured pancake machine which my kids loved. also, the hotel provided umbrellas for rental, really practical for the rainy days.

the entrance to the parking garage was narrow.

Rooms

the double room sofa bed featured an iron with ironing board for clothing care. i like the fact the room included a hairdryer which is practical. fresh air was available because the window opens.
