10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Breakfast was without any complaints. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, juices, pastries were all excellent and plentiful. My only complaint was the selection of tv channels. There was no espn channels with live sports. Many men enjoy espn often, if not every day. Big disappointment for me"
