fantastic stay!

friendly staff generous breakfast

i found the staff very friendly and helpful. the breakfast was generous with multiple options. the provided parking was convenient (a great bonus in this area).

the room felt a little small for an extended stay. the street noise was noticeable, especially during peak hours. i think better soundproofing would improve the experience.

Dining
