"It was obvious the hotel had been recently updated and as travellers from Canada the best part was the outlets having USB and USB-C ports."

"Breakfast had everything you could possibly want with cold meats, cereal, fruit and breads but the two delightful ladies in the little galley kitchen could do eggs all sorts of ways and I had a ham and tomato omelette on one day."
