I like the size of this room. There was enough space to move around comfortably and place all belongings. The housekeeping staff is excellent. The breakfast was plentiful, but mid. The location is near public transportation. There is evening dining and drinks. I would definitely stay here again.

If your rooms at the front of the hotel you're gonna have to put up with listening to the traffic all day and night. And even though the cooked breakfast is free, I wouldn't serve it to a dog. But the continental breakfast is absolutely fine. And the staff are great and really friendly.

We were pleasantly surprised with food for dinner and breakfast! I would say the only complaint that we had was the parking outside. If you pay before you go inside you will pay significantly more than if you go inside. There's no signage that says it's cheaper if you go inside and there is no refund.
