  • Convenient location for pen relays.
  • Our room was not serviced during our stay.

“Despite the sign on the door for service room, our room was not serviced, and the staff saw us when we left for the day. We had the breakfast buffet one morning. They seemed very disorganized. Ran out of spoons, and mugs. The coffee was bitter, and not hot. Limited choices for the hot buffet. They need to expand.”
