The room was clean (I give 4 outvof 5) and quite roomy, though i was surprised that they didn't have coffee and coffee maker in the room as their amenities. The hotel staff were helpful and welcoming. The fitness room didn't have a treadmill. Breakfast was clean and very basic and lacking (no eggs, or any meat). But biscuit with gravy was decent."
