The building is starting to feel a bit dated and could use some improvements. The breakfast was not great, and considering the $34 fee charged per night, it would have been nice to see more variety and better options. That said, the staff were great—very friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The location is also very convenient, which made getting around easy.
