Nice staff. Clean room and good amenities. Excellent hot breakfast buffet, many options. Tables with white tablecloths. Free outdoor parking on grounds - perfect for van I was driving. My room top floor end of hall, water pressure was a bit low but adequate. Older building so could hear odd plumbing noises from other rooms. Overall great value - likely stay there again.
