An Acceptable Hotel Stay

spacious roomfree parkingpoor mealrestaurant quality
The room was spacious and quiet. I found the location to be ideal for visiting the city. The grounds were very well kept and I also appreciated the free parking.
I had a meal at the restaurant and it was not good. I complained and they did remove most of the charge. I booked this hotel because it had a restaurant and this was disappointing.
