fantastic stay!

friendly staff good breakfast spacious room great privacy

the staff members were very friendly. breakfast each morning was good. the room was spacious and comfortable. i suggest light curtains on patio doors, as they provide privacy. it's a great touch.

The bed was a bit firm, especially if you sleep on your shoulder. It could cause some discomfort.

excellent stay

friendly staff extensive selection

the staff was friendly. i found the junior suite to be well-equipped. the location was convenient for walking to nearby restaurants. breakfast offered an extensive selection, it made up for the lack of gluten-free options.

during my stay, the gym was often crowded during peak hours. it made it difficult to use the equipment i needed. i think more equipment or expanded hours could improve this.
