I’ve stayed here before and the service is good. This hotel offers a full breakfast that you choose yourself from a breakfast buffet. It’s has everything you need. Cereal, fruit, yogurt,baked goods and hot food . Also waffles. It’s great! It’s quiet and is close to everything downtown. A decent accommodation.
