"Very basic, clean, spacious rooms. Not a lot of atmosphere. I chose this hotel based on the good reviews, especially the breakfast, but there is nothing special about the breakfast buffet. It’s a very generic, hotel-chain type buffet, with rubbery eggs and overcooked meats. The paper plates, plastic cutlery, and lack of fresh cream was very off-putting."
