Fantastic Stay at a Wonderful Spot!

awesome breakfastcomfortable roomconvenient locationeasy access

I had a fabulous time . The breakfast was fantastic, boasting great options and even fresh squeezed orange juice every morning!!! The room was very comfortable and impressively clean. The location is convenient, placing me just steps away from the Market Square. I found easy access to both dining and shopping.

The selection of teas and coffees available in the room was a little limited. I did wish for a broader variety of options.
