"This was my second stay at this property, and I chose to return there rather than staying at a less expensive place. Coffee and cold drinking water are available in the lobby 24/7. The breakfast has a good .variety, the room is very comfortable and nicely decorated. The Wi-Fi is excellent. There is a nice exercise room. There are several restaurants within walking distance."
