The room was a decent size. I had A STANDARD room. The location was really convenient to get around the area. The staff was polite, SO that was appreciated.
The breakfast had a limited selection. I found it underwhelming. The room felt a bit dated, and some of the furniture showed wear. I WASN'T happy with the noise level at night. It made it hard to sleep.
