Clean Rooms and Great Staff

I appreciated the hotel being owned by the YMCA. All profits are reinvested back into the hotel and staff development. The staff was both friendly and efficient . The breakfast offered a delicious start to each day, with options like Eggs Benedict.

The heavy door to my room posed a health and safety concern. It shut very quickly. The parking area has limited spaces for the size of the hotel.

The door to my room was quite heavy. It shut very fast and it seemed like a health and safety issue, for me.
