Breakfast was a bargain! Croissants smelled fresh from the elevator. Coffee was prepared on demand, and the bacon tasted very crispy.

The location worked well. It was next to a park. The room had a nice carpet and a sizable bed. It was very clean. The bathroom was clear and had enough facilities.

The city tax was higher. I expected it to be less. The coffee was poor from the bar! I really wanted a good cup. -.

The room looked dated. The bathroom fixtures showed considerable wear, i found the shower head to have mineral buildup, which affected the water pressure. it should have been replaced or thoroughly cleaned.
