The hotel rooms didn't live up to expectations for the price; however, they were nice but very warm, making it ideal for a short stay. The service was commendable, with cleaners willing to return and the manager showing sympathy. The location was great for our needs, although it felt like sitting in a cafe for dinner. The dining experience was the best I've had, with a wide range of breakfast choices.
