Our stay was very pleasant. The newly remodeled rooms were comfortable, clean and well lite. The staff was very nice and helpful. The parking was good and the pool is not to close to the rooms. The continental breakfast was only average but OK. For the price we were happy with everything. Ray S

We stayed before at this hotel for a period between 2010 and march 2013. The management really makes huge efforts to augment the quality of the services offered. Liked the quiet location at the back of the hotel-yard
