"Very well maintained hotel. Beautiful inside and a good deal. The only thing missing is the breakfast was ok. The food was not hot from the soup all the way down the line. They leave all the covers open, and all they would need to do is upgrade the food warmers that have it constantly warming. They leave all the lids open so it cools down too quick. They need to have an extra roll of toilet paper in the room at least. The rolls are very small to begin with. Especially if you get sick."
