basic and underwhelming stay
limited breakfast high parking fee
I was frustrated by several aspects of my stay. the breakfast was limited, consisting of only packaged items and pancakes. Finding a place to sit was a challenge since seating was very scarce. also, i found the daily parking fee of $17 excessive, especially since i was a guest at the hotel.. it should really be complimentary for those staying on the hotel.

decent stay, some issues though
the location was convenient for what i needed. the room was acceptably clean, nothing excellent but nothing terrible either.
The breakfast was disappointing. It was mostly prepackaged stuff like sugary oatmeal and muffins. i found the limited and unhealthy options pretty bad. it seems like a real oversight given the area.

A Cozy Retreat Close to Everything
super clean room comfortable bed attentive employees
the room looked super clean. i enjoyed the very comfortable bed with soft pillows. the front desk employees were so nice and attentive.
the bathroom design was a little strange since the sink was outside the actual bathroom area, making it less private.

The parking lot at the hotel was convenient. It provided easy access to my car and it cost $18 a night. The room was clean when I arrived, with everything in order.
The complimentary breakfast had limited options.

good air conditioning polite staff
The room had very good air conditioning. All the staff were kind. I found the location decent, a short ride by bus to downtown. I found the breakfast okay too, with pancakes and fruit available.
The parking exit was strange, taking me down an alley to a side street.
