10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was clean and inviting. I was pleased with the breakfast and room was comfortable. I really liked that the hotel was in a great centralized location and suited our needs flawlessly. I enjoyed the conversation I had with Elizabeth, whom was working in the morning and setting up breakfast. She is truly a delight and an absolute asset to the hotel. Elizabeth is the reason for the excellent overall rating. I hope hotel management recognizes her how exceptional she is.
