secure place savory option great breakfast

The staff gave a secure place to lock bikes. I shipped travel bags ahead and they stored them for about ten days for a fee. Breakfast was great. I recommend the savory option, the portion is bigger.

The sheets and towels seemed old. everything smelled musty.
