A very nice stay

All of the staff is extremely friendly. The beds are REALLY comfy! The free breakfast was nice…the only protein is the boiled eggs, but it was always enough food for us to feel satisfied. The only recommendation I have is that they mop the room floors during the daily cleaning. They just vacuum it, so it feels pretty grimy if you walk barefoot in the hotel room. We would stay there again.
