The food in the restaurant was excellent. I enjoyed the convenient location. It made accessing nearby attractions simple. Off-street parking was a great bonus. It was very helpful.
The room was quite small. Cleanliness was not ideal. I noticed dust and hair in the bathroom. The cups and glasses had not been washed properly.
