Liked: Staff & service
It was nice to have the room cleaned and beds made the first night, but didn’t receive the same for the other three nights. We ate waffles, pastries, bananas, juice, and coffee. The one small window in room could have used a curtain to block out some light in the morning and night. It was a good for the price we paid on our budget.
