the breakfast buffet had a wide selection of items. i found fresh pastries and fruit. the staff was attentive to my needs during breakfast. the location was central, so i walked to many attractions (it was great). the hotel also had a fitness center, and i used the treadmill.
the room felt small compared to the photos i saw online. the lighting in the bathroom was dim and made it hard to see. i also noticed dust on some of the furniture in the room (the desk was affected). the noise from the street at night was noticeable, even with the windows closed.
