the location was excellent and the hotel was easy to find. i appreciated the ample parking at the rear of the hotel. staff were friendly and very helpful. the breakfast had lots of menu choice and was delicious.
the bathroom was not clean, disappointing. the tiles were stained, and i noticed some mould. a dirty bathroom is unforgivable.
