"Excellent, no complaints."

10.0

Rooms and facilities looked brand new and were cleaned exceptionally well. They had a WiFi router in our room so we had no issues using the internet. The heated indoor pool was open for extended hours. The breakfast had more options then I was expecting including breakfast sausage and egg omelettes, when a lot of hotels don't include real meat or eggs in their breakfast buffets anymore. You can checkout by just dropping off your room key.

Good location that is close to many activities in the city. Comfortable beds and clean rooms, good breakfast.

Having no fan in the bathroom seems like an oversight.
