Great location. Nice staff. Fast internet included. BUT, the fact that they have only one elevator is a bit frustrating. And while the room had a very nice, fancy coffee maker, cups and spoons, this is the first hotel in my experience that had this amenity and DIDN’T provide coffee so I could make a cup!

Great room size and excellent furniture. Needs bedside table lamps you can operate from bed not a wall switch. In room coffee service would be nice.
