Hotel was cute, clean, and in a great location. However the breakfast service was a bit messy, as orders weren’t kept track of, and the staff would leave dirty plates, utensils, and food from other patrons on the table without cleaning them for a very long time, leaving them next to new diners for almost the entire meal.
