If you’re looking for a place with good rooms, a convenient location to the downtown area and professional and courteous staff. Then I recommend this place 10 out of 10. Also one of the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Can’t forget to shout out to our receptionist Rory. She was a great help during this stay.
