Everything was good except the tub drainage was really slow, there was no microwave in the room and I wish there was more breakfast options. Breakfast was only bagels, coffee, cold boiled eggs and no tea. This place is decent for short stays.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. It was also very convenient ,easy to get around and close to plenty of restaurants, stores, and other attractions. The only downside was the breakfast it was more of a light continental spread with muffins, bagels, granola bars, and coffee.so not the hearty breakfast I was expecting. Still, overall, a great experience, and I would stay again!
