5/5 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my stay. I was not expecting as many perks/benefits as was offered for a budget hotel. Friendly staff, breakfast & dinner included, spacious rooms, located less than 20 minutes from top attractions, and shopping less than 10 minutes away. Hotels don't really offer these many amenities without nickel and diming on everything. It was a very relaxing and carefree experience. Highly recommend. "
