The room was spacious as was the bathroom and showers. Everything looked clean and modern. The Staff was very friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that there were no reading lights. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty although the coffee was very weak.

The service was wonderful. The prices from the restaurants were atrocious. A very small pizza with only cheese and couple of leaves of Basil for $10. Give me a break. The pasta was dry and the bread was tasteless
