warm welcome room upgrade friendly staff portable radiators
I received a warm welcome and also a room upgrade. The staff was friendly and helpful with my needs. I found the food and menu nice. I also appreciated the portable radiators provided in the room.
I did notice the motion-sensor lights were slow. I needed my phone for lighting in the hallways late at night.
