"BEST Free Breakfast!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
The rooms are clean. The best part of the stay is the breakfast and the hosts of the breakfast area. They are very attentive to any issue and are there to make sure everything is clean and fresh. I have stayed at a lot of hotels with "free breakfast" in the morning and this was by far the best!
