The staff was very friendly. The breakfast offered good choices. The location was perfect, though the parking was expensive. The room included a king bed.
The room had a large stain on the ceiling. There were also a number of dead flies in the overhead light, it was gross. The taps and fixtures in the room were corroded. I thought it was overpriced.

acceptable, but some issues present
adequate staffstale pastriescirculating dust
the staff were adequate enough to address my basic inquiries.
The room i occupied exhibited considerable heat, even though external temperatures were low. a fan was provided. It merely circulated dust. the breakfast provisions were minimal, and the pastries tasted stale, as if they had been sitting out for days.
