The breakfast was plentiful and delicious! The staff are very nice and it there was someone there to check us in when we arrived around midnight. We got a private room and it was very spacious. Since it’s been chilly out at night (winter) it was a huge bonus that their was a heat unit in the room! Majority of places do not have heat.
