"This is a nice hotel, clean and kept up to date. It's in a very convenient location. do not believe there is any sort of breakfast offered, however I was out the door by 6 am so cannot verify. The restaurant has one hell of a Chef - the food was simply outstanding. The restaurant looks like your typical hotel restaurant, but the food is anything but typical. 5/5 stars"
