charming stay with really good service!

made breakfast updated room comfortable bed
the made-to-order breakfast included a full selection. the restaurant was briefly short-staffed one morning, causing a small delay for tables to be cleaned. the food quality was very good, i had access to orange juice, milk, various bread and toast options, jams, butter, and cereal. i found the rooms huge and recently updated. beds were indeed very comfortable.
i thought the dated decor in some areas could benefit from a refresh.
