"Good value for the rate, however somewhere it said there was a restaurant on the property which was wrong, Extending breakfast to 9.30 a.m. would have helped as we are seniors which don't move that quickly in the a.m. --- otherwise good overnight stay. The staff on the front desk were very helpful -- kudos to them."
