"Good Stay"

We had a very good stay here. The staff was friendly from check in to check out. The breakfast in the morning was okay for a quick start to the day. The room was nice and clean. The one issues we had with the room was the TV remote did not work and the toilet paper holder woukd not secure the roll to the holder. I was worried that it was going to be noisy as we had the last room by the ctrain tracks. But it was not that bad. I will stay there again as it fit what we needed.
