friendly staff great location delicious food dated room thin walls short window
the staff was SO friendly and helpful! the location was great for exploring the nearby areas, and the food was AMAZING!!! it was delicious and had such great variety.
The room felt a little dated. it could use some updating, especially in the bathroom. also, i could hear some noise from the corridor. The walls seemed a bit thin. the breakfast window was a bit short too, it felt a bit rushed.
