Wonderful Stay

The stay was wonderful. The breakfast was excellent. Room was very clean and spacious. The one thing I will point out, and this is getting to seem typical at hotels, the toilets are very low to the floor. So, if you are a tall person or someone with bad knees, you will feel like you are on a child's toilet. The hotel is located in a very nice, safe, area with many food options within walking distance.
