the room was spacious. the shower was amazing!!! they gave us an accessibility room as requested. the breakfast had lots of variety.
the location may be good if you have a car. walking to and from nearby sites is not convenient. the room had a strong, unpleasant odour of cigarette smoke. it was probably a room designated for smokers, though i did not request this and was not asked.
