Unexpectedly Charmed by This Stay!
quality bedding coffee machine
The bedroom had a comfy, large bed with quality bedding,. Bottled water was provided. there was a good coffee machine in the room for early mornings. I also found plenty of parking available, both at the front and rear of the building.
My air conditioning didn't work, disappointing. I only had a small, dusty fan.

clean room, good breakfast
pleasant decor breakfast buffet quality ingredient
the room decor was pleasant. i enjoyed the quality ingredients used for the breakfast buffet. the sausages, bacon, and bread tasted superb. the eggs had a lovely yolk color, a testament to good sourcing.
I noticed the evening menu had limited options. A daily change or more choices for main courses would improve it.
