Conveniently located property and well priced. Note however that if you need a wash cloth, you should ask for it, as I don't think they are issued as standard. The room was great and the housekeeping very good.

Pros (+) Wonderful, massive breakfast buffet. Full array of services for travelers, plenty of friendly staff.

I felt this was unacceptable for hotel of that ...
