The eggs weren’t very good but other than that the breakfast was fine. Parking was safe and easy. The room wasn’t cleaned as thoroughly as it has been other times we’ve stayed. Crumbs were on the floor and smudges on the furniture and bathroom walls.

Overall it was a good stay, however the bed had an old stain on the bedspread and the tub drained slowly after showering. The hall had a smell and the staff was in the process of taking care of it.
