The breakfast is awesome and the location is great. The parking is $14/day, so that is a drawback. Street parking is really not available because you can get ticketed beginning at 8:00AM

The staff was better than excellent and so was my stay. My only complaint was that the parking elevator was out of order and so were two of the three building elevators.
