Decent Stay

quality breakfast quick service poor reception coffee absence

The breakfast offered many choices and was served very quickly. The single room was ideal and the price for this class of hotel seemed reasonable to me.

There was a lack of coffee in the room I stayed in and the television reception was poor. The TV signal kept cutting out so watching anything was annoying.
