reasonable stay with a few issues

clean roomcomfortable bedsunstaffed deskbroken machine

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. breakfast included scrambled eggs and sausage. It was a decent start to the day.

The front desk was not always staffed. one morning i waited fifteen minutes just to ask a question. That was frustrating. the ice machine on my floor was broken. I had to go to another floor.

i stayed here for four nights and I had a VERY positive experience. the location was convenient to attractions and restaurants. my room included amenities such as a microwave and a safe. the complimentary breakfast offered a good selection and fresh options each morning, so i never had to worry about where to eat.

during my stay, i encountered ONE inconvenience. waiting caused slight delays. but it wasn't a HUGE issue.
