Comfortable for solo travel
"Hotel is great, staff is very friendly. My room was comfortable enough for me, shower was easy to work with. They gave me fresh towels and water daily. Breakfast was good. My biggest peeve was you can hear the water running sometimes but other than that I had a very comfortable stay."
