A balanced experience at this hotel

convenient locationhelpful staffcomplimentary waterpoor breakfastbroken coffee machineexpensive parking

I found the hotel's location very convenient. Many landmarks are easily accessible. The staff were helpful and always ready to assist with directions. Complimentary water was a nice touch, it was replenished daily.

The breakfast was not great. I waited a long time for bread. The coffee machine wasn't working properly. Street parking was offered, but it was also paid. I was charged for three days when I only parked for two.
