The continental breakfast was good. Free water bottles was a nice touch. I did not like the temperature controls in the room. 68 degrees was the coolest temperature allowed, and on a hot, humid day, that is not cool enough for sleeping. Location is great -- close to theaters and restaurants and the shopping on Walnut St. As long as the room temperature doesn't bother you, I'd say go for it!
