We were very impressed with much about this hotel. It is set in a lovely green campus and decorated in a subtle, tasteful style. The room was very clean and comfortable-the beds were terrific! The continental breakfast was nicely laid out and there were also many hot options available from the menu. The quality of the staff really shown. The breakfast staff were cheerful and worked hard to make sure we had a nice start to our day. Our check out was made even better by Natalia's help with our large luggage and taxi. Great stay!

food was good. Overall satisfied. Granola great. Hot menu good.

breakfast time was very busy. There didn't seem to be a system for collecting and delivering orders. had to ask when things didn't turn up. We would have liked a better fruit choice than water melon. Soon ran out of cold buffet items.
