the room was spacious and bright. a perfect location made exploring very easy. i found i could walk to many places from the hotel with no problems. the large bathroom made mornings much easier for us.

there wasn't any complimentary water in the room, a feature that i would have appreciated. the lack of a proper desk made working a bit difficult, i had to use the bed instead.

The location was convenient for accessing local restaurants. The employees were helpful . The room was clean and well-kept (I really appreciated this!).

The breakfast service was not great. I noticed that there were a few staff members to handle the rush, causing delays in refilling food. Finding the parking garage was difficult even with the map. It took some time.

the location was acceptable , near many bars and restaurants.

i was annoyed by the lack of water in the room. there were no drink-making facilities. i really needed a cup of tea after a long day , but there was no way to make one. i think that's a basic thing a hotel should provide.
