Hotel is in a perfect location for me, always has welcoming/friendly staff & the free breakfast in the morning is always delicious. It’s usually a fairly quiet hotel however this last stay there was a lot of kids running the halls yelling and banging on doors. Other than that, it was a perfect weekend getaway!
