Quiet, well equipped, awesome breakfast included. Huge room. We'll be back!
Pros:

The spa and laundry facilities were an unexpected bonus. The room was quiet and super well equipped. The room we had was very spacious and super comfortable with a separate laundry/bathroom area. The included breakfast was wonderful with lots to chose from and left in the room for ease of use. There was nothing not to like about our stay here!

Cons:

It was a bit of a walk into the hotel etc in town, but we had a car or could get a cab so didn't really matter. I don't know what they could have done to improve our stay.
