Excellent value for the money - and then some!
Excellent value for the money - and then some! I spent one night when I was in town for a wedding. I didn't have high expectations and the property pleasantly surprised me. Very clean. The bedroom/bed were fine. The bathroom was a bit small and nothing fancy but also fine. As others have noted, an excellent breakfast - LOTS of choices and surprisingly GOOD coffee. I also took a dip in the pool, which was a nice addition to the mix. The staff was uniformly pleasant, welcoming and helpful. There was nothing that bothered me - as noted the bathroom is kind of spartan but totally adequate.
