Newly updated quiet room. Breakfast was great with lots of options. Enjoyed our stay. Only complaint was the restaurant attached was filthy and we sat in our booth for a very long time and no one served us at all in fact we came in and waited and then left without any staff even acknowledging us. So that was unfortunate otherwise over all the hotel stay was great!
