Staff are very friendly! The location is walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores etc. The continental breakfast was fresh and hot. The room was very clean. The only negative was the carpet. I stayed there before and the bottom floor rooms didn’t have carpets so much nicer. The top floor needs some upgrades otherwise it’s a great place to stay.
