lovely hotel experience

friendly staffcentral locationtasty foodlimited parking
the staff were really friendly and professional, always ready to help. the rooms were clean and well-kept, it had a relaxing feel after my day. i liked the central spot because getting around was easy. the food was tasty and there was enough to pick from. it, good for work trips.
there are a couple things i would change. parking is tight, and the beds felt small. i am plus size and it was a bit hard to sleep well. also, the bathroom drain did not work so good while i was there.
