"The property was well maintained both inside and out. It was easy to get to and great location with dining with train and bus stops one block away. The breakfast was plentiful including generous portions and options, with breads and pastries, protein, and fresh fruit and juices. The staff was extremely helpful, always kind and friendly. They even helped us get our room ready for a very early check in before 10 am of our arrival. They always greeted us and made sure that we were welcome. Would gladly stay here again."
