The worst breakfast

The room was comfortable and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was the worst! Coffee was barely lukewarm, the hot food looked like it had been sitting out for a couple of days, and selection was low. The bagel I ate was stale.

Great stay

This hotel is always a pleasure to stay at. The gentleman who checked us in was very personable and helpful. He remembered me from my last stay and gave me a room where I requested. The room is always very well presented; clean, comfortable and quiet.
