Wonderful and friendly staff. Nice clean room. Great location. Maintenence items to check are that the heater in our room always blew cool air unless the temperature is cranked to 26 or higher. Then it would eventually go back to cool air and have to be cranked higher. Also, the loo flushed sluggishly. Apart from that - great place.

The staff was very nice and genuinely seemed interested in making our stay as pleasant as possible. I forgot something at the hotel and they went out of their way to arrange for it to be returned to me. I was really impressed with that!
