The breakfast was the worst I’ve ever had. They literally have frozen egg and sausage croissants, they tasted terrible and the oatmeal was so bad. They only had orange juice and coffee available, nothing else, I was so disappointed.

Great little hotel. Stayed twice already. Rooms are clean, spacious and beds are comfortable. Sounds silly but the fact that we had real coffee cups in our rooms vs. cardboard to go cups was nice as well. Loved the theme and decor and having a balcony was perfect. Location rocks. It’s close to everything. We walked everywhere. Only ok item was breakfast. It was just oatmeal, cereal some apples and small croissant sandwiches. But we were fine with it as a hold-me-over. Definitely recommend and will be back.

I booked the room through expedia, and expedia had collected the hotel fee from my card right after my booking , but the hotel charged me again after I checked out,I don’t know the fact if they had got the payment from expedia in advance, it’s totally not professional as a hotel system. Fortunately I saw my card statement one day and found this problem, then I called them and asked for refund back.
