excellent location breakfast buffet

The location was excellent and it was easy to come and go. i also loved the breakfast buffet. It was a better price to buy when i made the room reservations.

The room was small. I asked for a kettle and cup, it was graciously provided but the cup was not changed or washed for three days.
