The hotel provided us with a great recommendation for our day trip, and we slept well despite the construction noise at night; however, the location is not very convenient for easy access to restaurants. The staff was excellent, helping us organize our activities and showing genuine concern for my wife's disability.

The help-yourself buffet-style breakfast was always a treat, and the facilities were well-maintained.
