My son and I stayed two nights. The staff in areas of the business were friendly, courteous and professional. The bedroom was spacious , comfortable and clean.!We had breakfast on two mornings and a one evening meal which met our needs. We were staying there because we were attending a funeral of an old friend and the hotel provided a delicious buffet.
