breakfast qualityunacceptable noiselate music
the breakfast was acceptable (i especially liked the eggs).
the noise levels were unacceptable . i was in room 14, and it is near a sports bar so booming music was a major disturbance. the music continued until late so i struggled to rest until after 10:30 pm.

The breakfast was AMAZING!!! they served tea and coffee right at the table. hot food i ordered from a menu. there was cereal, yogurt, pastries, and juice immediately available. i even got toast. White or brown bread was an option.
my room was on the second floor and it was a difficult staircase, nobody helped me with my luggage.

A Good Stay
central locationfriendly staffclean roomquality ingredients
the hotel was centrally located. i found the staff very friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile. my room was clean, well kept, and perfect. the breakfast offered a lovely variety of options, and I appreciated the quality of the ingredients.
The only VERY SLIGHT issue was the small size of the bathroom in my room. It made maneuvering a little difficult.
