While I enjoyed my stays and it is my 2nd stay at Christmas with the hotel. I am disappointed that the kitchen closes down during Christmas especially for breakfast. I had took cab to recommended breakfast restaurant but found it closed for Christmas as well. I did not find it located to many walkable amenities. That said because it is near family I would always choose this hotel

Staff were courteous. The room was clean. Some improvements would be welcomed, like more outlets in the room to connect your laptop, phone charger. I tried to use the hair dryer and it didn't work, not sure if it was the outlets or the dryer itself. The mini fridge was noisy. We would have liked the restaurant to be open at least for breakfast. Thank you.
