Check in was easy. The lady at the front desk (Laura) told us politely to call her for anything we would need. She asked us to be patient with our request as she was the only one working at night. I saw her working in the front desk, doing deliveries to the rooms and setting up the breakfast. I got two rooms. I slept upstairs at the back and it was very quiet. My company stayed downstairs, she said it was noisy at times. The breakfast was better than I expected. Coffee was fresh and hot. I would return to this place.
