Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
We had two stays at Hotel and experienced two different rooms. Both rooms had an unpleasant smell - seemed like the smell was from past cigarette smoking. The rooms were small and did not seem to have great air circulation. The hotel has a great location and staff were very helpful. Breakfast was also good, though the breakfast room was small for the number of guests.
