The breakfast included a lot of variety and local flavors. The hotel's location really worked for me since I was attending a wedding at different venues. I particularly enjoyed an evening of excellent jazz at the lobby lounge, it was so soothing and perfect.
The Wi-Fi was a bit slow. That was a minor inconvenience.
