noisy air conditioning cheap breakfast
I had a few issues . The air conditioning unit was quite noisy. It made sleep difficult. the breakfast quality could be improved. The hot items tasted rather cheap. For the price of the room, i expected better quality in those areas.

convenient stay Near legislative building

convenient location espresso drinks
the location is really convenient. i found the breakfast surpassed my expectations for a free breakfast. the staff worked hard to keep the area clean and well stocked. i appreciated the great coffee machine , made lattes and other espresso drinks.
the advertised room size was inaccurate, disappointing. it felt cramped with two adults and two teens, something I paid extra to avoid.
