really good stay!

friendly staffincluded parkingsmall sink
breakfast was served each morning. the staff were friendly and quick. parking was available, a big plus in the city. i was able to leave my luggage before check-in time.
the bathroom was very small. the sink in it was almost too small to use. i think a slightly larger sink would be more practical.
