From the moment we arrived, the staff were very friendly, helpful, and informative. Our hotel room was easy to find—clean, tidy, and simply a pleasure to stay in. Breakfast was great: self-service with plenty of food and a wide variety of choices. Overall, our visit was excellent. We arrived with a smile and left smiling too.
