It is an nice hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious. They are under staffed in the breakfast area or the staff are.very well managed. The assistant manger was excellent. She resounded personally to some feedback I gave about the state of the gym equipment. And gladly extended by check out time. I would happily recommend it as a place to stay in PE
